Thirty-five students (35) from Central Province attending Kokopo Business College in East New Britain Province will be repatriated back to the province today with the help of the Central Provincial Administration. The students sought assistance from the Central Governor Robert Agarobe following the attack on the school early this week by locals where several causalities were reported. Provincial Administrator Mr Francis Koaba said the parents of the students have made contact with his office and arrangements are underway to repatriate the students. “A charter is arranged now with Air Niugini to repatriate the students as soon as possible for the students to return home safely to their parents and guardians,” Mr Koaba said. “We have received reports that Central province students have fled the school area and are currently at Rabaul.” He said the students are in contact with his office and students from Central province, MotuKoita and NCD will be catered for in the repatriation exercise. Koaba said the charter is scheduled to arrive in Tokua airport today to get the students and return to Port Moresby. So far provinces that have gone include Manus, New Ireland, Oro, West New Britain, Hela, Western, Morobe while Central will be this afternoon on a 5pm charter.
