![]() THREE teenagers, all students, were killed after an exchange of gunfire with police following an armed robbery on Tuesday in West New Britain’s Nakanai, a police official says. Provincial police commander Supt Peter Barkie said the deceased were two 19-year-olds and an 18-year-old. He said two from Kandrian were doing Grade 10 and Grade 12 at Bialla Secondary School while the other was a Grade Seven student of Vilelo Primary school and was from East Sepik’s Woginara. “Firearms are a dangerous weapon hence someone regardless of age who is in possession is considered dangerous,” Barkie said. “It’s a matter of pulling the trigger so anyone in front of someone in possession of a firearm can be killed. “As a result, we (police) are always left with no choice but to protect lives and properties.” TOTALEnergies is proposing a tertiary scholarship programme targeting third-year students of the Papua New Guinea University of Technology (Unitech) in 2024.

Saupere is an awardee of the Australia Awards PNG scholarship and a native of Hauna village in East Sepik’s Ambunti Dreikikier. Through the scholarship programme, Saupere graduated with a bachelor of midwifery from the University of Goroka in 2022. He is now working as an educator at Tinsley community health worker training school in Mt Hagen. “Because the school was in dire need of a midwife to teach obstetrics and gynaecology and didn’t have one, I took this as an opportunity to replicate the knowledge and skills that I had been taught,” he said. Saupere said that it was important to equip community health workers (CHWs) with vast knowledge about maternal health and skills to serve in the remote parts of the country. AN all-girls school of excellence is ready to be built in Gobo village, upper Jimi in Jiwaka.
First assistant secretary, inspections, Annemarie Kona was on site last week during the school’s site assessment tour and expressed immense satisfaction with the way the new infrastructures were taking shape to accommodate the all-girls school.
