Never Give up : Story of a School Administrator

Kenneth Kalai

By Kenneth Kalai 
In my years of Education I was lucky enough to enter tertiary education because entry requirement accepted Grade 10. Without good grades I was on the fence but by luck I was accepted into a boys college teacher training at St Paul's Vunakanau Teachers College in 1992 East New Britain Province for three years Diploma.

In my final year 1994 Eruption occurred so we were taken to St Benedict Kaindi Teachers College for few weeks and graduated.
Though I received Diploma in Primary Teaching deep in me I felt too low so in my first year teaching I took up Adult Matriculation Studies at Madang University Centre now Madang UPNG Open CAMPUS. I completed it and was admitted to Degree Program doing BA in Education. It was a tough struggle studying at university level and working same time. I stood all odds and sacrificed alot.

Finally I graduated in 2021 at UPNG with the BA Education Degree. Iam now doing my Masters Degree while working as a head teacher in a level 8 primary school and will complete in 2024. My long journey of sacrifice worth it all as I am keeping up with the changes in Education Structure. I believe that I am secured in this change.

Never give up if you have not tried and always learn to sacrifice. Only you can help yourself. With low grades in grade 10 Iam now looking forward to complete my Masters Degree.
