Following the Grade 10 results released on December 9th, 2025, students and parents eagerly anticipate the Grade 11 selection list for 2026, the Education Department's General Education Division (GES) is currently finalising the process.
When will the list be released?
Based on previous years, the Grade 11 selection list is typically published around December 20th. However, the exact date for the release is yet to be confirmed.
The Grade 11 Selection List has not yet been officially released by the National Department of Education. However, it has been noted that some school principals, who have early access to their respective school selection lists, have displayed the information on school notice boards and, in some cases, circulated it through social media platforms such as Facebook.
This development indicates that the official national release of the 2026 Grade 11 selection lists by the Department of Education is imminent. Parents, students, and stakeholders are therefore advised to remain patient and rely on formal communication channels for the confirmed and complete release.
Once officially published, the 2026 Grade 11 selection lists for National Schools of Excellence and Secondary Schools across Papua New Guinea will be made available by the PNG Education Department, including downloadable PDF copies through recognised information platforms such as PNG Insight.
Further updates will be provided as soon as the Department makes the official announcement.

Where to check the list?
The official Grade 11 selection list will be available for download as a PDF on the Education Department's website.
Please disregard any unofficial lists circulating on social media.
