Language
• According to CultureGrams World Edition (2014), there are around 836 documented languages in Papua New Guinea.
• In an effort towards better communication, early colonists developed a language called Tok Pisin and began teaching it to the native people.
• Containing less than 1,800 words, Tok Pisin has roots in English and German.
• The language of instruction in Papua New Guinean schools is Tok Pisin, though many church-run schools use English (Kurian, 2014).

(Stant, 2012)
• Education is not free in Papua New Guinea, and families often struggle to send their children to school due to monetary reasons.
• School costs US$85 per year on average (The Global Road Warrior, 2014).
• This may not seem like much, but in rural areas, many families survive only through their personal agricultural efforts.
