![]() ABOUT 600 East Sepik students attending the Divine Word University’s Wewak campus will benefit from the provincial government’s budget allocation of K4 million this year. Governor Allan Bird told the students this when he met with them on Friday. East Sepik Students Association vice-president Thrisa Paknus raised the concern of students having no laptops in a paperless university. Paknus said they needed laptops and a photocopier to help them with their studies. She was content with Bird’s response saying the provincial administration would help them, particularly those whose parents could not afford a laptop.
Bird, who was passionate about empowering people through agriculture, urged the students to get their parents involved in cocoa farming. He said people in remote areas of the provinces who ventured into cocoa three years ago were now reaping the benefits. “Talk to your parents about ongoing cocoa programme, its free,” he said. “All you need is land and labour.” The National/PNG Education News next : Balimo Teachers College Welcomes 40 Students For Training Comments are closed.
