Higher Education in Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea's higher education sector is small relative to its population, with the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG, founded 1965) and PNG University of Technology as the principal institutions. The Office of Higher Education oversees accreditation and policy; English is the main language of instruction across the six universities. Access is severely constrained by geography, infrastructure limitations, and affordability, with tertiary participation rates among the lowest in the Pacific region.
