Who Can Be Selected
Students who achieved an Upper Pass or higher in Grade 10 will be considered for Grade 11 placement. Those who did not reach this level will continue their studies through Flexible Open Distance Education centres. The Department expects more students to move into Grade 11 in 2026, so schools should prepare for larger class sizes.
How the Selection Will Be Done
School principals must take part in the selection panels and bring laptops with reliable internet. In the National Capital District, the selection will be held at the Diowai Conference Room at Port Moresby National School of Excellence.
In each province, the selection will be organised by Provincial Education Advisors at chosen venues. Guidance Officers and nominated principals will lead the process. Schools must provide important information such as the number of students, boarding space, and gender requirements. Electronic copies of Grade 10 School Leaving Forms will be used.
Technical Support
By December 2, 2025, schools will receive login details, internet data support, and links to the selection portal. Contact information for regional help desks will also be shared. Experienced principals are encouraged to help new principals so the process runs smoothly.
STEM Pathway for Top Students
Students who are selected for National Schools of Excellence will begin their Grade 11 studies in January 2026. High-performing students will be given the chance to study the STEM curriculum, which focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
