In a move to bolster the learning experience for students, Kimbe Teachers College in West New Britain has inaugurated a new lecture room. Principal Ismael Leka revealed that the construction of the lecture room, costing K47,000, was made possible through a K300,000 grant from the provincial government, allocated last year.
The newly opened facility is designed to accommodate the current student population and foster a conducive learning environment. Principal Leka expressed plans for further enhancements, utilizing the remaining funds to reorganize existing spaces and create four lecture rooms, acknowledging that these developments would take some time. ST Therese Catholic Primary School Grade Eight students are set to enjoy a more comfortable learning experience with the generous donation of 60 new desks and chairs from the International Training Institute (ITI).
The school's Head Teacher, Patricia Avire, expressed her joy as the new furniture will replace the floor seating that 10 students in each grade had been enduring since the beginning of the academic year. Avire highlighted that the Grade Eight students, who had been sitting on the floor, would now have the privilege of using the new desks and chairs for their upcoming mock exams. The donation from ITI is a significant step towards improving the learning environment at the school, which was established in 1928 and has faced challenges due to deteriorating buildings. Avire emphasized that the school's learning improvement plan had prioritized the acquisition of desks and chairs. In some rural primary schools within Morobe, Papua New Guinea, educators relying on digital versions of teachers' guides and syllabi are encountering significant difficulties, as reported by a local head teacher. The issue appears to be more pronounced for those lacking the essential equipment needed to access these instructional materials.
Siing Goping, the head teacher of Wana Primary School in Nawaeb’s Wain-Erap, acknowledged that while the use of digital resources is manageable for junior primary school levels, senior primary school educators in rural areas are grappling with the absence of laptops, desktop computers, and other necessary devices. In a strategic move to enhance the quality of education in the province, the Morobe government has earmarked K1 million for the school inspectorate division. Administrator Max Bruten revealed that this budget allocation is intended to facilitate inspector visits to all urban and rural schools across Morobe. Bruten emphasized that achieving quality education is directly linked to the diligent work of school inspectors. Their visits, he stated, are crucial in ensuring the presence of teachers in schools and the effective delivery of education.
