Scholarship coordinator Mainuwe Fanamu, however, said K10 million was still not enough to meet school fees and administration costs. He said the scholarship would help 2,255 students this year spread across 30 institutions in Papua New Guinea (PNG). ANGLICAN schools in Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) donated furniture to schools in Morobe with help from Swire Shipping.
The furniture were presented to Soroptomist International Lae branch president Nellie McLay and Morobe education board chairman Bob Aaron on March 1. STUDENTS of Wawin Primary School in the Wampar local level government, Huon Gulf, Morobe, have a new double classroom built at a cost of K250,000.
MP Ross Seymour, who opened the double classroom, said the district development authority would pay the students’ project fees as well. The classroom was named the Gah (chief) Ross Seymour Study Hall. Seymour said his priority was to improve education and one of these ways was by erecting infrastructures for 60 primary schools. AFTER years of struggle, work on a new Manam high school is underway at Potsdam Care Centre in Bogia, Madang.
Iabu local level government (LLG) president Kenny Boli said the displaced Manam islanders “desperately needed a high school” because most of their students left school as there was no space at Bogia Holy Spirit Memorial Secondary School and frequent ethnic clashes with students from mainland Bogia. SEVEN police officers in Popondetta, Northern, are being questioned over the alleged shooting of a university student who they claimed is a suspect in an armed robbery.
Internal Investigation Unit director Chief Superintendent Emil Alpha said the seven officers were identified by eye witnesses to the shooting. It is alleged that on Jan 16, the seven were in civilian attire and walking through a track in the Niugini Compound where they came across the student. The student realising that they were police officers knelt on the ground and lifted his hands in a gesture of surrender, Alpha said. It is alleged that the officers ordered him to remove his cap and when he did, one of them shot him on the right thigh. ![]() With the current shortage of health workers in the country, the UPNG School of Medicine and Health Sciences is looking forward to be a standalone university by 2025.
