There has been a report on the blog PNG Attitude from a Solomon Islands teacher commenting on the failure of Outcome Based Education.

Papua New Guinea has a most basic difficulty in Education, a deficiency that has been passed down from teacher to student. Students are taught theory straight out of the text book.
They never get to think except perhaps in Mathematics. The rest is pure memorization from the textbook and blackboard. The main outcome is recall from memorized facts.
Students learn the theory of grammar but do not learn how to write. They learn the theory of physics but never solve a problem. They learn the theory of chemistry but never conduct an experiment.
They are tested on theory in the exam. Focus on theory simplifies teaching. A teacher could take a class but know nothing of the subject. It just takes knowing what to write on the blackboard.
All that has to be done is copy the theory from the textbook onto the blackboard and test at the end of the term. Please click:
