Papua New Guinea Origins

Secretary's Message The topic Papua New Guinea's Origins is the first term's work in the Grade Eight Provincial High School Social Science Course. It is the second of the four topics which develop the theme Change through Grades Seven to Ten. The material in the book integrates the presentation of information, the development of ideas, reinforcement and application of Social Science skills and the fostering of attitudes. Three types of activities appear at the end of each section. There are Exercises to ensure comprehension of the material; there are Things to discuss and Things to do. The activities combine work on sections of the book with direct investigation both inside and outside the school. -- J. E. Tetaga Secretary for Education
