Seventh-day Adventist mission education in Papua New Guinea

This study traces the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Mission’s educational effort in Papua New Guinea between the years 1942 and 1970. After outlining the problems experienced during the war years under the ANGAU administration, it discusses the immediate post war difficulties of staffing, recruiting students, re-establishing and supplying schools and mission stations, and deciding on curricular offerings.

Relationships between the mission and the administration are discussed and their respective objectives and positions are shown. Reasons for the Seventh-day Adventist Mission’s refusal to join the 1970 Unified Teaching Service are examined. The study concludes with an evaluation of the contribution of the Seventh-day Adventist Mission’s educational system and notes its benefits to the students who participated in it, the Mission which provided it, and the society in which it existed.
