The Department of Education has promised to take action on head teachers and school boards if they are late with school acquittals.
Education Secretary Michael Tapo said those who failed to submit their acquittals on time would be disciplined. He said acquittals from schools had been “very poor”and the department was finally taking a stand to improve them. He said acquittals were compulsory and important as they provided a proofon how government funds were used. He said there were people at schools finding out about how money has been used so that reports could be filed and presented to the government and public accounts to show accountability. “Acquittal is a serious matter and because of that, I may stop spending on things such as travels for my office staff but I can’t stop money going into schools when they have not acquitted funds. “Therefore, there are people out there to collect reports on how funds have been used.” Tapo said if acquittals were not made and reports were filed, disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers and school boards. He said the department had had enough of negligence by schools in complying with regulations and they should be penalised.

Its time, we want this so called educated government employees (public servents) to be punished for misuse of government funds. Every funds must be accountable by head teachers, board members, inspectors, etc... looking after individual schools in every district and province in all levels of management performing their duties right. As i am concern is remote area schools with no students in class with no teachers teaching. GHOST SCHOOL. I have a good example and would like the government to punish this smart public servents starting from the bottom up. Yalum Primary School in Enga Province in Laiagap/Porgera District is a very remote school that does not exist at all. Funds funded are used by the board and the head teacher for their own interest. Full inspection needs to be done straight away with some ass kicked off o put off payroll. Head Teacher for Yalum Primary School, Mrs. Jeffery (Hennat Jeffery) File#10486597, Registration#81283 been teaching in Munglep and Paiam Primary Schools for the last 3 years as releave teacher have not turned up in this schools faithfully since its whom you know system that the education department in Enga is playing. Mrs. Jeffery and the board member his own uncle has usesd this funds for several years with fales reports and aquittals by them and the inspectors. Since its coming to the end of the year and she is now running high with government cheques for this so called Ghost School (Yalum Primary School). Please my advise is to put her off payroll and do a full investigation on her teaching years, her promotion, and this so called ghost school by me were no classroom exist no students exist and the board and head teachers are misusing free government funds. Who do we blame and now how do we do it? Let us pray my people of Yalum Village that this bounch of culpricts will be punished severly for what they have done to us and the government funds. Thanks. Concern (People of Yalum Village in remote area of Enga Province). Comments are closed.
