The National Pledge of Papua New Guinea (PNG Pledge) is often recited around Papua New Guinea throughout a range of government-based organisations. It is often recited at both primary schools and high schools before the commencement of classes each day; in the National Parliament on each sitting day immediately after prayers; in each Provincial Assembly and Local-level Government Assembly on each sitting day immediately after prayers and at all official celebrations on the day fixed under the Public Holidays Act 1953 to commemorate the attainment by Papua New Guinea of Independent Sovereign Nationhood.[1]
