As part of the Papua New Guinea National Government’s higher education reforms, the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHERST) and the National Training Council (NTC) hereby formally announce the transfer of this function in accordance with the Higher and Technical Education Reform Act, 2020 and the National Training Council (Amendment) Act, 2020.
To ensure consistency of quality assurance across the higher education sector, the function of registering private training institutions and accrediting their programmes will move from the NTC to DHERST. Notice This notice serves to inform the General Public and the concerned stakeholders that the Enga Provincial Government has submitted a proposal to the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHERST) to establish a public university as Innovative University of Enga, in accordance with the Higher Education (General Provisions) Act 2014. The Enga Provincial Government proposes to amalgamate the two existing State institutions Namely Enga Teachers College and Enga School of Nursing into a university. The two colleges will be amalgamated as faculties of education and nursing. Other proposed institutions will Eventually subsume into the University structure while undergoing establishment. By Sam Koim Our education system continues to send ducks, fish and eagles to the flying school, expecting all to pass. Well, that system is fixed for only the eagles to pass, whilst the fish and ducks drop out, thinking they’ve failed in life. Life doesn’t end there. At school, we memorised most of our lecture notes to pass exam. Well, life outside of school is not organized, memorized, and applied; rather, each person has to learn it for him or herself through trial and error. In other countries and cultures, once a child reaches adulthood, he or she also develops a strong sense of independence and the will to fend for himself or herself. You go with your friends to a restaurant and there is no expectation for one person, regardless of how deep one’s pocket is, to foot the bill. That says it all. Employers, Institutions, Stakeholders urged to demand Original School Certificates from Applicants12/14/2021
The Education Department is concerned that many fake certificates are being circulated and has urged all stakeholders including employers, institutions to demand original certificates from the applicants and verify those certificates with the Measurement Services Division Database. Forgery and use of fake certificates can be avoided only if employers and education institutions start demanding original certificates from applicants for verification with the Measurement Services Division. Assistant-secretary Measurement Service Division (MSD) Packiam Arulappan said the MSD would be collecting data and list of people reporting lost certificates and their names would be published in the media so employers and education institutions can see them. “Time is up for those forging and using fake certificates for employment and education systems because there is not just one way to identify certificates,” Arulappan said. “In the past we had only one system called the “embossed year seal” which is a gold seal on the certificate but since 2016 more features were developed to keep all certificates secured and not duplicated easily. “These features were one of the 62 requirements the current Education Secretary, Uke Kombra, directed the MSD to implement to improve the examination systems in the country.” Featured Post Below are the notices on the Grade 12 results for this year 2021 and Tertiary Selections. The Grade 12 students across the country have sat and completed the National Examinations. The following subjects were examined.
Status : Examinations Completed THE Papua New Guinea Government Marape-Basil will strictly monitor student enrolment to prevent nepotism, bribery and bias when it brings back free education next year, says Education Minister Jimmy Uguro. To avoid overcrowding in classrooms, it will ensure there is no huge increases in enrolment, and will discourage the re-enrolment of those who had left the education system years before. “The free education policy is to maintain the current enrollment structures of the institutions. The burden (of parents) will be offloaded to the Government to take care (of tuition fees).” The Australian government will pay the school fees for all students attending primary schools throughout Papua New Guinea . Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced this news during the third PNG-Australia Annual Leaders’ Dialogue held virtually on Wednesday. He said his government would provide $35 million in sector budget support to assist the PNG government’s tuition fee-free education subsidy for all students attending primary schools to ensuring around 1.1 million primary school students continue their education. Mr Morrison advised that this funding was in addition to more than $340 million in COVID-19-related assistance that Australia had delivered to support PNG’s response to the pandemic. Project fees are not Compulsory for 2022 Academic Year, says PNG Education Minister Uguro12/10/2021
Papua New Guinea EDUCATION Minister Jimmy Uguro says project fees are not compulsory but it is up to a provincial education board (PEB) to approve them if needed. He said the PEB would be the only authority to approve project fees for schools in a province after ensuring that the schools have met specific requirements. Uguro said the Government was paying 100 per cent of school fees – about K632 million – next year. Since 2020, the James Marape-led Government paid 63 per cent of the tuition fees while parents paid 37 per cent. It has been 14 years since Miss Glenda Giles followed the invitation of the Oksapmin valley people to come and start a High school there. Meanwhile, the Junior Highschool grew into a Secondary School enabling the students to finish grade 12 in their familiar surroundings. Ever since, students from the Oksapin High school at Tekin are one of the top students of the whole Nation which speaks to the dedication of the whole teachers there. THE Papua New Guinea Government is bringing back its free education policy next year (2022), paying the full tuition fees of students from pre-school to Grade 12. Education secretary Dr Uke Kombra said it would be a relief for parents, who had been enjoying the policy since 2012 until January last year when they were told to pay 37 per cent of tuition fees. “The increase in school fees (since January last year) has been a great challenge for parents in the period of the Coronavirus, when they had to find money to put food on the table while paying school fees. The Government’s aid would be a relief for parents next year,” he said. The Education sector has been allocated K632 million in the 2022 national budget, compared to K486 million this year. |
