DESPITE many development challenges in the country, the Education Department aims to provide complete prep to grade 12 and four pathways in secondary level, minister Jimmy Uguro says.
During the launching of the know about business in fisheries (KABF) entrepreneurship training curriculum last week, Uguro said this was to empower education training for students and young people in entrepreneurship. “The launching of the know about business in fisheries entrepreneurship curriculum today is a step in the right direction for our young people,” he said. TWELVE schools in Popondetta town that suspended classes on Monday following a big fight last weekend will resume classes today.
Provincial education adviser Maino Vegoli said head teachers of three primary schools, eight elementary schools and the principal of the only secondary school in the town were advised to suspend classes. “The police are on the matter and the governor has also brought in a helicopter to assist the two young men who were badly injured. “So far, the town has been calm but we are strictly observing the situation and will advise school administrations on any new or unexpected development,” he said. PNG EDUCATION secretary Dr Uke Kombra says schools should not overcharge students as disciplinary action can be taken on their administration. He said school administration that continued to charge students fees that exceeded the National Education Board (NEB) maximum project fee limit would be charged for a serious disciplinary offence under the form 13 Teaching Service Commission (TSC) Act. Kombra said school administrations had been instructed not to charge school fees of more than 20 per cent of the maximum fees set by the NEB. SCHOOLS in PNG should use their funds wisely for their term one operations as there is no extra payment for this term, according to Education secretary Dr Uke Kombra. Kombra said the first K211 million released by Education Department was for last year’s fourth quarter. “We held back the funds because we didn’t want to risk paying the money during Christmas break,” he said. Kombra said the second payment released, K158 million, was the funds component of K316 million for the first two terms. “No other payment is coming,” he said. ALOTAU MP Charles Abel says about 100 students entering tertiary institutions this year will benefit from the district’s scholarship scheme. He was responding to a query by The National on whether the scholarship scheme would continue this year. Abel said K200,000 had been allocated to support the students. He said students had benefited from the scheme since its inception in 2015. WIDOW Annette Narewe Gore says she has been teaching in rural Nawaeb, Morobe, without pay for over 10 years now.
Gore said the need for building a strong education foundation was far more important. In 2008, she left her teaching position with an international education agency school in Lae to help start an elementary school in Dzendzen village in the Wain-Erap local level government. “I had nothing to lose,” she said. “I was a widow with adult children and the people in the village needed my help.” MOBILE banking school merchants in the country must accept legitimate e-receipts provided by parents to ease the burden of queues in branches and improve school operational efficiencies, according to Bank South Pacific Financial Group Ltd (BSP).
The bank said in a statement that its branches continued to see an influx in the number of people lining up across the country despite having the BSP mobile banking (*131#) school fee payment platform available. It highlighted that schools in Mt Hagen were reluctant to accept e-receipts for school fees paid via the mobile banking payment option. The schools insisted on paper receipts and had forced parents and guardians to queue up at the bank. Celebrating our own series: International Day of Women and Girls in Science This is Euodia Mosoro, she works at the Australian High Commission as the Senior Program Manager for the Subnational program. Euodia is a woman of STEM, she studied in PNG and Australia and holds a degree in Biomedical science and a Master of Public Health, a choice of study she felt personally drawn to after losing loved ones to infectious diseases. “I really wanted to pursue a career in science to understand how these diseases occurred and return to PNG to work on programs that support the health system to prevent these diseases.” GUIDANCE teachers are not counsellors, Papua New Guinea Counsellors’ Association senior executive member Onnie Teio says. “Schools should have trained counsellors who are always present in school to help counsel teachers and students when required,” she said. Teio said counselling was recognised as a vital service in the western world but “it is very premature in Papua New Guinea”. “Counselling is not the same as giving advice. Counselling is dealing with people’s emotions, their mental and physical status. It is about talking with them through their problems and helping them figure out a way to resolve the problem.” |
