This is a call to the Department of Education to give Outcome Based Education a fighting chance. The program in PNG is flawed by the fact that the overseas advisors only told half the story. They forgot to tell the teachers about Mastery Learning.

Students find difficulty in learning facts. But as soon as the facts are put into a small problem, the students learn and remember. I had designed a Mastery Learning Programme in the PNGDF in the 1970s.

Past officer cadets still remember problems from that programme. Knowledge was packaged in problems to be solved by the average to brilliant students.

Mastery Learning requires the designing by teachers of sequences of practical mastery exercises. It may be that in Science from elementary to grade 12 are 1200 mastery problems. There is no need for a massive library but a creative teacher who holds knowledge in the mind. But a library certainly helps.

I know that I could be a teacher in a remote high school of PNG and produce the most stimulating studies to excite the students. Mastery Learning does not go from theory to practical. It goes from practical to theory. Check the sequence in Science above. Many of the problems could be solved by 10 year olds.

I used to teach Biology to my small sister with dozens of little problems. On becoming a kindergarten teacher, she used the same technique with 7 year olds with great success.

The key to success is the creative teacher who can break theory down to sequences of practical problems that can be solved by children.

Why does a bird fluff its feathers before sleeping at night?
Why do some birds sleep on one leg?
How do baby chickens keep warm?
Why do lizards and snakes sleep in the morning sun?
Why do they sleep on rocks?
How can seals and whales live in cold water?
Why is it easier for birds to fly over the land than the sea?

and hundreds more.

Nine year old children could answer those. Then we start to move into the properties of air, insulation and conductivity. No theory but practical explanations. Known to unknown. Simple to complex. What if this class of grade 3 students in PNG had 80 such problems to solve, talk and write about?

Then as grade 4 students, they had 100 more. We could have natural science based English. This provides the basis of grades 10-12 science.
