Abstract
This paper is based on research that investigates whether the importance of equal educational opportunities for women and girls in a rural society in PNG is understood and whether there is a transition away from the traditional belief that women and girls should not be educated. The research is based on a week long participant observation and unstructured interviews in the community of Waromo village, Sandaun province. It also takes into consideration the views of primary and high school head teachers, church leaders and the Ward Councillor of Waromo village.
