Classes at the University of Technology in Lae will resume on August 29.
Unitech chancellor Sir Nagora Bogan and vice-chancellor Dr Albert Schram said that the Unitech council had unanimously resolved to salvage the 2016 academic year following the suspension of classes and vacating of the student accommodation in the aftermath of the alleged murder of one male student and the burning down of the four buildings within the campus. The council in salvaging the academic year established a tentative starting date of August 29, pending approval by the academic board which at its last meeting last week approved the tentative date to resume classes at Unitech. The office of the Unitech public relations yesterday confirmed that the Academic Board of the PNG University of Technology has approved the university’s revised academic calendar to officially convene on August 29 and end on December 9. Per the re-opening plan, students are expected to arrive in campus on 24 August, registration for semester one is on August 25 and 26. The re-opening plan of the Unitech further specifies that revision of semester one will be for two weeks from 29 August to 11 September and semester one exams begins from 12 September, for a week. A one-week mid-semester break is September 19-23 before semester two begins on September 26 culminating with the semester two examinations on December 2-9. The university management is in dialogue with the police and security firms on operational arrangements, risks analysis and security plans which will be accompanied by the signing of a memorandum of understanding sometimes this month between the Lae Police and Unitech according to the PR office. The PR Office also stated that repairs are being carried out on the student dormitories and expected to be completed within this month (August). Post COurier/ PNGEDUNEWS
