It's time for another lesson for the grade threes at Gaire Primary School, but this is 00:00:00
no ordinary class. 00:00:15
They may not realise it, but these children are leading rural Papua New Guinea into the 00:00:30
digital age. 00:00:34
This is the first remote government school to have computers and the internet in the 00:00:37
classroom. 00:00:42
The laptops that we have now with the kids, they have learning activities like mathematics. 00:00:43
There's a lot of maths inside. 00:00:52
There are typing lessons. 00:00:54
Now the kids can actually learn how to type a word and a sentence. 00:00:56
So there's heaps of learning activities. 00:01:00
That's making it very important and exciting for us teachers and the kids too. 00:01:02
Eventually, each class will have laptops, courtesy of the global initiative One Laptop 00:01:09
per Child, which aims to connect children in developing countries to the internet. 00:01:18
Gaire is also part of the Pacific Rural Internet Connectivity System, a project to connect 00:01:26
rural villages to the World Wide Web through village telecentres. 00:01:32
All Gaire is the luckiest village because we are exposed to the world, the global world. 00:01:39
The reverend is even tapping into the net to freshen up his weekly sermon. 00:01:45
Looking at the Bible and seeing the other theologians, their viewpoints of the Bible, 00:01:50
they gave me help by giving me new insights. 00:01:56
There are also economic benefits for this coastal village. 00:02:03
Being connected has improved contact with the capital, Port Moresby, an hour away. 00:02:08
I see cucumber collectors, they contact the buyers, instead of travelling to Moresby they 00:02:13
just contact the buyers through email, let them know that they have this amount of cucumbers 00:02:18
and they discuss prices and all that. 00:02:25
Locals hope the internet will also create much needed opportunities for Gaire's young 00:02:29
people. 00:02:34
We have many school leavers who have come back to the village and are doing nothing, 00:02:35
some young people and all that. So I think this has the potential to help them to gain 00:02:40
information on land where they didn't know before. 00:02:46
Click that and get it to the Internet Explorer. 00:02:50
We have employment problems here, but we're hoping these new methods of learning with 00:02:53
computers will help students to perhaps see the world and learn something from the outside 00:03:02
world and be able to put something into their own lives when they leave school. 00:03:07
If it's shown that Gaire's economy, employment, even school retention rates improve as a result 00:03:16
of its new cyber status, then Papua New Guinea could well have a new template for development. 00:03:22
It's not just Gaire, we are using Gaire as a pilot site, but as for Papua New Guinea, 00:03:28
I think we cannot waste time. We must accept the emergence of modern technology and the 00:03:33
usefulness of the technology in education processes and in the future. 00:03:43
And it's just incredible. We must not waste time. 00:03:52
And this generation of increasingly computer-savvy youngsters isn't wasting any time exploring 00:04:02
the full potential of the new technology, taking their elders into the future with them. 00:04:08
When I was a student, I never knew anything about a computer. I've never seen one. And 00:04:15
even in my 30 years of teaching now, now that I'm a principal, my knowledge of computer 00:04:19
is really, really basic, very, very small. So now that when I walk into grade three classroom 00:04:25
and there is a teacher with the students all busy doing the activities in computer, it's 00:04:29
something very, very new and I get really excited about it. 00:04:34
Who do you think is smarter, the computer, you or your teacher? 00:04:37
Me. 00:04:42
