 PROJECT SUMMARY

The Arbarakete Primary School on Chiro Wereda funds to

build a double classroom building for the grade 9 students to be
enrolled into the school, commencing in year 2012. The
Arbarakete School Board of Management and the administration
value very much that education is fundamental to life and
national development and that learning has no boundaries and no
end. Whether we live in tribal or modern communities, the need
for learning are there and so educating our children in the modern
context is essential not only to prepare them for intellectual
excellence but also to develop their correct mindsets on issues
within and outside their community.

Arbarakete Primary School is one of the very old schools

established in the early 2s and the building infrastructures have
deteriorated very much. However the school has strived to do its
utmost best in maintaining the educational standard and quality
and continued to deliver classes in these deteriorated building
conditions. One such building is for the grade 7 and 8 students. To
date the school has held five grade 8 graduation ceremonies
however it was noted that the majority of the grade 8 grandaunts
cannot continue to grade 9 at Arbarakete Secondary School due
to limited space at the school. Introducing grade 9 classes at
Chiro Primary School would great benefit the majority of grade 8
school leavers.

The overall goal of the project is to make available sustainable

facilities, more conducive to accommodate Grades 9 and 10 in the
two coming years. To achieve this, a double classroom building is
to be built in year 2012. The Arbarakete School Board of
Management and Parents and Citizens Association together with
the school administration fully support the project and request
funding of 450, 000 to implement the project.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Arbarakete Primary School was established in year 1960 as an

area school by the Derge administration to cater for the
educational benefit for the children of Arberakete area and
Fungan dimo kebele . From 1960 to year 2012, the school has
provided preparatory to grade 8 classes. In year 2012, the school
introduced grade 9 and grade 10 classes in year 2012. From 20
students in 1960, the enrolment in year 2012 is 100 out of which
50 are girls, which is approximately 50 % of the total number
students. The school initially was a level three with three staff and
has developed to level four school with eleven teaching staff. Out
of the current eleven teaching staff, eight are female and only
three are male.

The initial classroom buildings were of bush material and were

later replaced by permanent classroom .Hence these building
infrastructures have deteriorated, some beyond repair.

Problems Encountered

With increase in the number of student enrolment in grade 9 each

year only 25 % of graduating students secure grade 9 spacing at
Arbarakete Secondary School. The remaining 75 % cannot
continue because of lack of spacing at Arbarakete Secondary
School. Also being in the least prioritized area, more of our
students are turned away from continuing their formal education.

Also, over the 30 years, the school building infrastructure has

lacked government support in maintenance and upgrading and
hence these existing building infrastructures have deteriorated
very much.

Project Justification
There is long term plan for the development of Chiro Wereda
Primary School. The plan is logically set up to show the
importance of providing a “dream school” for the children of the
Last Arbarakete area as per the Health Promotion Strategy
endorsed by the National Government of Papua New Guineas
Poverty Reduction Strategy which is an important integral
component of the National Governments Medium Term
Development Strategy (MTDS).

initiative of improving the school by developing projects and
require funding to implement these projects.
