Papua provincial education office is focused on continued improvement in education governance, efficient resource use, and information management for transparent and accountable education service delivery. The team is maximizing donor support, particularly under the Basic Education Capacity Trust Fund (BEC-TF) funded by the European Union and royal kingdom of the Netherlands, in scaling-up successful initiatives. These include the good practices in Education Website (WAPIK), wider-use of the Tool for Reporting and Information Management by Schools (TRIMS) and a formula-based approach to local government funding to supplement School Operational Assistance (BOS) through BOS-Daerah (BOSDA). Various media events to socialize achievements and the ongoing issues affecting education in Papua have also been hosted. Plans are well underway to extend the BEC-TF approach into 2013 in the districts of Merauke, Biak Numfor, Sarmi, Keerom, Yapen, and Mimika. Technical training and support will be provided by Cendrawasih University.
