As with any responsible and sustainable social and economic development, the effort must begin humbly and grow organically as experience and resources provide the means for expansion. At present ETT has been run in Madang Province and in Milne Bay Province. While the course is overseen by a national program officer there are also experienced personnel working to coordinate and support the classes in their region.
A great response was met by the opening of schools in Madang Province such that approximately 400 students enrolled in 15 different schools within the first two months of the schools opening. Such a response will naturally require the training of more teachers to staff those schools.
In the future, with experience gained from the first phase of the ETT course, Rays of Light plans to help establish schools in other remote and rural locations.
