PNG EDUCATION Minister Jimmy Uguro is urging parents to ensure school-aged girls do not participate in prostitution. Uguro condemned the involvement of school-aged children in prostitution and want parents to meet their responsibilities by sending their children to school and making sure they stayed in class. “Parents must try to meet their children’s demands by providing school fees, food, clothes, accommodation in order to reduce such illegal activities and behaviour,” Uguro said. “I condemn school girls being involved in any form of prostitution.” He said the fact that young girls were involved in these activities showed that parents were irresponsible and people were not doing more to stop this. Uguro said this activity tended to disrupt and damage lives and make life harder for girls.
He told students to listen to their parents. He urged teachers to focus on learning and bettering themselves so they could complete their education and be proud of their achievements. Uguro said while one of the reasons why some young girls were getting involved in prostitution was because they came from broken homes or were poor, this was no excuse to take part in such immoral activities.
