Bougainville’s students will gain new opportunities to learn about respect, safety, and justice through a pioneering partnership between schools and the law and justice sector. The program will help young people understand their rights and responsibilities, encourage positive behavior, and create safer schools, and an investment in Bougainville’s future.

The Bougainville Law and Justice School Partnership Pilot will run for six months across high schools, secondary schools and TVET institutions. Teachers, school leaders and law and justice officials met recently in Buka to design activities including practical learning and sports-based activities.
