With the National Examinations currently underway in various schools throughout the country, students in Morobe Province are being called on to ensure they are not involved in any bad behaviour after their exams.
Morobe Provincial Police Commander Superintendent Jacob Singura made this appeal to the Grade 12s who are currently sitting for their exams as well as the Grade 8s who will sit for their exams next week.
He said having after-exam celebrations is not a bad thing, however it must be done in the family setting and in a safe environment.
“Our advice is when you finish your exams, go back home safely and be with your parents,” Mr Singura said.
“If you want to celebrate the completion of your exams, please do it at home with your family.”
Meanwhile Grade 10 students throughout Morobe Province were commended for their after-exam behaviour following the end of their national examinations last week.
Supt Singura said police have received no reports of any disturbances or incidents caused by students and gave credit to them for that. He also commended the parents and the respective schools’ administrations for ensuring that their message is being relayed down to the students.
“I commend everyone involved, particularly the parents and the teachers and also our young students who are sitting for their exams and those that have completed theirs already.
