Alternative Pathways
However, it's important to note that some students may explore alternative options, such as enrolling in programs like the Flexible Open and Distance Education (FODE), or in some cases, returning to their hometowns to pursue other avenues. Each student's unique circumstances and aspirations play a role in determining the path they choose.
Overall, this period is marked by anticipation and optimism as students in Papua New Guinea strive to continue their educational journey and unlock new opportunities for personal and academic growth.
Grade 10 National Exam Results and Selections
The Grade 10 national yearly exam results are usually released just before the Grade 11 Selection Conference on the first week of December.
The 2024 Selection lists for National High and Secondary Schools are, likely, to be published 2 weeks after the release of the results. That means that the selection committee will take a week to finalize the selection, and the education department will take another week to publish the list.
Here we take a look at why the Education Department needs to set the publication dates for the Release of Exam Results and Grade 11 Selection Lists, read about it here.
Grade 12 National Exam Results
The Education Department through the MSD will release the 2024 Grade 12 exam results to the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science, and Technology (DHERST) around the second week of December.
The Education Department (MSD) conducts the exams, coordinates marking, compiles students' exam marks and sends them to DHERST.
DHERST then uses the marks to select students for higher institutions.
2025 Grade 12 Selections Date
The Grade 12 students can check their examination results on/around December via the Education Department's (NDoE/MSD) website called My PNG Exam Results. Last year, the results came out on the 8th of December - this will give you an idea about when the exam results will be released this year.
Note that DHERST does not process the marks. DHERST usually takes less than a week to process the selection listings for tertiary institutions in the country.
It works in collaboration with universities, colleges, and other tertiary institutions to do the selection. But, first, the institutions MUST tell DHERST their quota - how many students they will accept for the academic year 2025.
So, unless the institutions provide the quotas on time DHERST will not release the listing.
It is important to note that the higher institutions NOT sending the quotas often resulted in delays.
2024 Grade 9 Selection List
The Grade 8 exam marking, results, and Grade 9 selection are the responsibility of the respective provinces. The Department of Education passed this responsibility to the provinces.
The education department will send the Grade 8 certificates to the schools/provinces before the end of December every year. However, many provinces have failed to issue Grade 8 certificates to students.
Read about this failure and how the Education authorities Do the Grade 9 Selections.
What do the 2025 Selections Mean?
For Grade 10 students, the 2025 selections signify a transition to Grade 11 or vocational centres, where they can further their academic pursuits or acquire practical skills.
For Grade 12 students, it means striving for admission into tertiary institutions, paving the way for their higher education journey.
Similarly, Grade 8 students eagerly anticipate moving up to Grade 9, marking a significant step in their educational progression.
