School leaders across Morobe province have voiced significant concerns, stating that nearly all their schools are ill-equipped for the impending 1-6-6 education restructure. This readiness gap was a central theme at a special meeting convened to discuss the new educational framework. Attendees included head teachers, principals, their deputies, and representatives from both the Morobe provincial education department and the National Department of Education.

During the meeting, speakers detailed several critical issues that pose challenges to the successful implementation of the 1-6-6 model. The specific nature of these issues was not detailed in the provided text, but their identification by school heads and education officials underscores a substantial disconnect between the planned reform and the practical realities faced by educational institutions on the ground.
