A GROUP of university students in Goroka are facing fraud-related charges linked to the payment of their fees when they enrolled at the beginning of the year.
University Acting Vice-Chancellor Donald Gumbis yesterday confirmed that 17 students had been charged by police. ![]() The PNG Teachers Association (PNGTA) will not be part of the proposed nationwide stop work next Thursday and Friday the 25th and 26th October 2018. That is according to PNGTA National General Secretary Mr Ugwalubu Mowana in an interview today. Mr Mowana told Legend FM News thus far they have been contacted by a number of groups concerning this boycott but have chosen to distance themselves from it. ![]() EVERY student has potential and if given the opportunity they will do well and excel in life, according to Badihagwa Technical Secondary School principal Maru Bala. He told The National that Badihagwa had the biggest population of grade 12 students sitting for examinations this year because they were given the opportunity to pursue their studies. THE government’s free education policy has enabled two adults to graduate with a higher school certificate at Salamaua Provincial High School.
The two were among 337 grade 10 students that graduated last Friday. THE simple hygiene practice of washing hands with soap and water can improve health and save lives.
This was the message highlighted to students of New Erima elementary and primary school yesterday as they celebrated the Global Hand Washing Day which falls on October 15 every year. A TEACHER in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville received only 12 toea in his pay packet last payday, it has been revealed.
Others received amounts as low as K50, says Papua New Guinea Teachers Association Bougainville representative Martin Takali. ![]() A TOTAL of 90 Papua New Guineans have been offered Australian Award scholarships for various study programmes starting next year. This was announced during the PNG Australia Alumni Association dinner on Saturday night in Port Moresby. Three are for PHD (Doctor of Philosophy) programmes, three for post-graduate studies, 81 for Masters programme and three for Bachelor degree programmes. Australian High Commission Counsellor for Education Susan Edgecomb said the 90 successful applicants would join the Alumni community. THE teachers union wants the State to reimburse salary deductions that have affected 493 teachers by next pay day.
PNG Teachers Association also demanded a full investigation into what they alleged was “electronic transfer fraud” involving State employees and loan companies. WHEN government coffers run dry and cannot assist schools in transporting examination papers, Tusbab Provincial Secondary proved schools can assist other schools.
Simbai High School principal Nathan Wiripi yesterday said that he had a tough time last week to transport examination papers for 115 Grade 10 students in his school and Tusbab Provincial Secondary assisted with K18,000 to charter a helicopter to deliver them. GRADE 10 examinations in Morobe saw some minor hiccups at two schools but they were managed well in the end, an official said.
Provincial examination supervisor and principal of Lae Secondary School Christopher Raymond said Bugandi Secondary and Siassi High saw some late or wrong exam papers come through as a result of miscommunication. |
