![]() MORE than K150 million PNG government tuition fee subsidy (GTFS) funds were paid into all schools’ accounts last week, says Education Secretary Dr. Uke Kombra. “As of Friday last week, all school accounts with Bank of South Pacific, Kina and Westpac banks received their GTFS funds. “Accept for decentralised provinces, the money was deposited into provincial trust accounts,” he said. “These will be the only schools to face delays while waiting for the money to be transferred from provincial trust accounts into theirs.” Kombra gave a stern call to decentralised provinces to take responsible actions in transferring GTFS funds to respective schools’ accounts. “There should be no variation by provinces in the allocations made by the department,” he said.
Kombra urged schools’ authorities to use GTFS funds accountably and accordingly to school learning improvement plan (SLIP) as acquitted. From the K154,760, 640.25 GTFS funds for this term, preschools received K15,402,596; K64,741,366.80 was allocated to primary schools; K1, 011,986.25 to national schools of excellence, secondary schools got K62, 737, 890.00; vocational schools received K7, 853,902; K2,239,000 was given to Flexible and Open Distance Education (FODE) and K773,900 went to Special Education Resource Centre (SERC). Kombra said the GTFS funds for this term were a bit late hence previous term’s payments were done on time. The National / PNG Education News Also read
