Abstract
Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients of concentration are used to measure the extent to which school places are uniformly distributed between provinces in Papua New Guinea. Enrolment and school age population data for 1972, 1975 and 1978 are used. For both primary and secondary places, the distribution has become significantly more uniform over the period studied. This is in keeping with PNG's planning objectives to spread educational opportunity more evenly throughout the country.
