THE Government plans to allocate more funding to education next year for the development of school infrastructure, Prime Minister Peter O’Neill says.
He said during the launching of Sacred Heart Primary School’s 50th anniversary in Port Moresby the Government was “serious in educating young people in our country”. He said the Government would allocate more funds - on top of the education subsidy paid to schools – for school infrastructure. “These include the building of new teachers houses and classrooms in all the schools every year,” he said. O’Neill said the Government would work with the churches. The Catholic Church has been funding and running the Sacred Heart Primary School in the past 50 years without being acknowledged by the Government. Head teacher Pokatou Litau said school was privileged to be visited by the country’s leader and the students promised to “perform extremely well in the coming exams”. “For the last three years, this school has topped the country in the Grade Eight national examination and this year is no exception,” Litau said.
