Episode description

Matilda Sweman thinks deeply about education. Particularly for girls in Papua New Guinea.

That's because she went to school just after her country gained independence, at a time when very few girls were being educated.

She went on to become a primary school teacher in the East Sepik region for almost two decades, and now she's an author and a lecturer in teaching at the Papua New Guinea Education Institute.

On Sistas Let's Talk, Natasha Meten speaks to Matilda Sweman about educating girls, working with limited resources and thanking her father for sending her to school.
