Dame Rosalina Violet Kekedo DBE (1942 – 25 February 2005), better known as Rose Kekedo, was a leading educator in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the first woman to be chancellor of the University of Papua New Guinea.

Kekedo died on 25 February 2005 at her home in Boroko, Port Moresby. She had suffered from arthritis, had become bedridden and refused further medical treatment after having had an earlier operation in 2003. Kekedo never married but raised three nephews and a niece.

In 1990, she joined Steamships Pty Ltd, becoming one of the first women in a senior position in a leading PNG company. In 1996, she was appointed chancellor of the University of Papua New Guinea, the first woman to hold this position. In addition, she was an office bearer of the YWCA and the St John's Association For The Blind.

1973

In 1973, she became the Associate Deputy Principal and in 1974, she became the first female principal of Port Moresby Teachers College. In 1979, she was the first woman appointed to the Teaching Service Commission.

1969

She was a member of the organising committee for the Pacific Games held in Port Moresby in 1969. In the same year she went to the University of Northern Colorado in the USA, which specialises in teacher education. She graduated in 1972 becoming, at the time, one of few Papua New Guineans with a tertiary degree.

1967

In 1967, Kekedo represented PNG at a meeting of the United Nations in New York City, the first woman to do this. In 1968 she became a lecturer at Madang Teachers College, the first Papua New Guinean woman to hold such a position and also lectured at Goroka Teachers College. She became the president of the Teachers' Union, campaigning for equal pay and conditions for women teachers.

1951

Kekedo's education was interrupted by the 18 January 1951 eruption of Mount Lamington, which forced her mother's school to close. She was sent to another school, describing her two years there as the loneliest time of her life. After completing primary education, she was sent to an intermediate school in Popondetta, where she completed a teacher training course at the age of 13. At that time girls comprised only 20% of students in primary schools in Papua New Guinea and few entered secondary school. In 1956, she was one of 20 students from PNG to win a scholarship to study in Australia and went to the Good Samaritan College in Harlaxton, Queensland. On returning from Queensland, Kekedo undertook a further teacher training course at Port Moresby Teachers College and gained a Diploma in School Administration. She returned to Australia at the age of 23 for three weeks, as a guest teacher in Canberra.
