Description

Aiyura National High School was established in 1976, a year after PNG achieved independence.

The school is situated in the Aiyura valley, which is often known as "windy valley". Other institutions in the valley include a coffee research station and other agricultural research facilities, two primary schools, an airfield and aircraft engineering school, and the PNG headquarters of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, an evangelical Christian organization. The school is about 10 km (6.2 mi) from the town of Kainantu. [1] [2]

The school enrolled around 750 students in 2020. Subjects taught are: language and literature (compulsory); mathematics and advanced mathematics; biology; chemistry; physics; economics; geography; and history. It is now offering STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Technology) courses for students selected to take STEM course. It was started in 2021 and is currently being offered in addition to the other subjects offered. [1] [2] [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Education in Kerala</span> Aspect of Indian society

The importance and antiquity of education in Kerala are underscored by the state's ranking as among the most literate in the country. The educational transformation of Kerala was triggered by the efforts of both Church Mission Society missionaries like Jon Munro and clergy of Catholic church like Fr Kuriakose Elias Chavara and Fr Charles Lavigne and were the pioneers that promoted mass education in Kerala, in the early decades of the 19th century. The local dynastic precursors of modern-day Kerala, primarily the Travancore Royal Family, the Nair Service Society, Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana Yogam, and Muslim Educational Society (MES), also made significant contributions to the progress on education in Kerala. Local schools were known by the general term kalaris, some of which taught martial arts, but other village schools run by Ezhuthachans were for imparting general education. Christian missionaries and British rule brought the modern school education system to Kerala. Ezhuthu palli was the name used in earlier times. The word was derived from the schools run by the Buddhist monasteries. For centuries, villages used to set up an ezhuthupally or ashan pallikoodam with one or two teachers. Students used to go this school from nearby areas and learn languages, literature, mathematics, grammar etc. After completing this, students may continue study about specific subjects such as ayurveda, astrology, accounting etc. Censuses during the 1800s showed that Travancore, Cochin, and Kannur areas have many such schools.
