LEARNING at the Kabwum High School has been affected with many of its facilities being run down.
This was made known to Morobe Governor Kelly Naru when he visited the school last week. Headmaster Lembi Aena, a local from the area, has been knocking on the door of the district development authority (DDA) for assistance but all his efforts have fallen on deaf ears. The institution has come to a state where students are sleeping on the floor, dormitories not done properly, classrooms with broken shades because of infrastructure development not being up to date. Reports show there was no proper infrastructure put in place before attaining the status of a high school and the institution has lot of work that needs to be down to be upgraded to high school as they are still using the infrastructure from the primary school. “We have agreed that this school will have the status of a secondary school so we had to start now to make it happen to reach that level. But prior to that there are other issues that must be sorted out to get approval from the inspector,” Naru said. “We must put in place dormitories for both male and female students, specialist teaching classrooms, additional classrooms and a few more teachers’ houses to put the institution in a state of readiness for it to operate as a secondary school.” Naru said the provincial government was committing K1 million next year for the school’s status to be upgraded but needed the support of the DDA to counter-fund to get work done.
