No Roads Education ensures that the content delivered to teachers can be implemented in classrooms immediately. Teams of experienced Australian educational professionals self fund their expeditions to work alongside the teachers in classrooms, assisting with lesson planning, and modeling good teaching practices. This includes activities to apply factual knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, utilise problem solving methods, create new applications using known information and results evaluation. Australian teachers work with the local teachers to find ways to bring effective, higher cognitive skill development into the curriculum.
Education and training is focused on English, Literacy, Numeracy, Key learning areas specific to identified needs and best classroom practice, while also assisting teachers with the implementation of the new PNG Department of Education curriculum.
