Fisheries Minister Dr Lino Tom said investment into children’s education is important as they will drive the nation forward in the future. He made these remarks during the opening of a four-in-one double classroom at Arifiran Primary school in Markham District of Morobe Province last Friday. The four-in-one double classroom project was an initiative undertaken by the former Fisheries Minister and is part of National Fisheries Authority’s community base support. Minister Tom said the project will serve to benefit the children with access to proper classroom building that will enhance their learning environment and urges parents and the community to look after the classrooms and other services that the Government provides. He appealed to parents to start educating their children at home before sending them to schools so that they will become better citizens of the country when they grow up. Meanwhile Dr Lino Tom said that Morobe is embarking on bigger fisheries projects and it will soon become a fisheries hub. He said the Wagang fisheries wharf that NFA will build will derive huge economic returns for the Province and the country as a whole.
