TECHNICAL Vocational Education Training (Tvet) centres should be given priority because they absorb school leavers who have problems with the law, says a principal.
Mendi Tvet principal Andrew Sebe said they needed support for proper learning facilities. Sebe said most of the students that have graduated in the past years were employed in both formal and informal sectors while some were running their own workshops or businesses. Southern Highlands Tvet inspector Lucinda Saul said Tvet institutions were expensive to run and it had been a struggle to provide the quality training that required. OVER 200 under-trained teachers will take Lahara courses on postgraduate Diploma in Education and Post Vocation Teacher Education this Christmas.
The course is offered jointly by the University of Goroka (UOG) and Unigor Ltd. The PGDE/PVTE programmes began last year where a total of 22 under-trained teachers enrolled and successfully completed session one courses in six weeks. Unigor manager said a lot of under-trained teachers with various qualifications were still teaching in schools. STATISTICS have shown that nearly 170,000 grade 8 students in Madang have been pushed out of school since 1996 when the top-up programme started.
Provincial grade 8 examination coordinator Staal Columbus said this is because Madang does not have enough high schools to cater for grade 8 students graduating from more than 200 primary schools. Columbus said this year only 3000 out of 8000 who sat for their exams would secure spaces in high schools while 5000 would return home because of lack of space in high schools. TOURISM, Arts and Culture Minister and Kokopo MP Emil Tammur told Our Lady of Sacred Heart (OLSH) Vunapope Secondary School students that education is their life and they should guard it well. A total of 378 students received their grades 10 and 12 certificates, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Students from PNG and the Pacific islands will be given extra scholarships to study in Australia as part of an effort to build stronger links with the region. Politicians, business and sports people from Pacific nations will also get access to a "Pacific Australia Card" that will make it easier for them to travel to Australia. The Prime Minister has signed a couple of agreements with China, one of which is to have more Papua New Guineans get educated in China through scholarships. “China is also provided grant aid of K150 million and providing to the pacific 2, 500 scholarships to study in China, bulk of it will be PNG because of our population and the size of the country,” said Prime Minister Peter O’Neill. A TRANSPORT hiccup has delayed the marking of grade 8 examination papers for more than 15000 Morobe students.
Morobe senior education officer Alfred Tobem said the helicopter that was supposed to pick up the exam papers two weeks ago broke down. He said the late start to the marking was also due to some schools, especially in Lae, not submitting student information booklets on time. TWO Australian officers joined 20 Papua New Guineans on a pre-Apec tour of the soon-to-open School of Business and Public Policy (SBPP) in Port Moresby on Friday. Australian High Commissioner Bruce Davis joined High Commissioner designate to Australia John Kali, Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat secretary-general Dame Meg Taylor and the University of PNG leadership toured the school at UPNG.
