MT Hagen Callan Inclusive Education principal Malcolm Kewa says many schools in Western Highlands lack basic facilities for disadvantaged students. “It is high time for school boards of management to ensure that the facilities that include water, sanitation and wash basins be installed for their daily use,” he said. At the opening of water and sanitation facilities in Nanga Emmanuel Primary School in Mt Hagen on Friday, Kewa told students, teachers and a team from Care International, Mt Hagen city authority and education division that the current Wash programme was important to the disadvantaged students. “This opening must be an eye-opener for other schools to have such important facilities installed for their students,” Kewa said.
“We must thank the European Union, United Nation International Children Fund and implementing partner Care International (PNG) for looking into the needs of our disadvantaged student.” “We all have a right to access these facilities, and that includes students with disabilities. Nanga Emmanuel Primary principal Alfred Moka said the 14-year-old school had previously received aid from the Japanese and Australian governments for the construction of classrooms. Moka said the school was expecting about 700 students in next year’s enrolment due to improved Wash facilities. “Health is a global issue and the help given by the people of Europe to our students is highly appreciated. We must appreciate the help and the facilities installed for us,” he added. TheNational/PNGEducationNews Next : Female Students Given Access To Wash Facilities Comments are closed.
