The Grade 8’s final exam in Madang town has been postponed to this morning. Four Primary Schools hosting Grade 8 Exams within the town vicinity were forced to postpone the exam to this Friday due to poor attendance of students and invigilators. The schools Jomba Primary School, Lutheran Primary School, Holy Spirit Primary School, and Kusbau Primary will be on high alert to prioritize the safe travel of their students to travel safely to school and back. The Madang Provincial Education Department authorities had postponed the exams after Madang town was infested with locals on Thursday. Deputy Principal for Kusbau Primary School Mrs Biel Towili stressed to PNG HAUSBUNG the importance of the exams and why it should not be postponed any further. “This is the last exam for grade 8’s and it must be completed no matter what”. “Our school had a poor attendance of teachers and students, what happened affected us all.” “Students and teachers were scared home or were unable to travel because of no public transport.” “I appeal to the Madang government to put Madang in the State of Emergency, because the good, sensible and innocent citizen are suffering the most, we need assistance.” The beautiful Madang town was forcefully shut down by the public and police after a young police officer from Chimbu Province was allegedly butchered by locals. South and North Coast of Madang public transport have stopped their normal routines to avoid any dangers, resulting in a deserted town. “We plan to work with police to provide security for our staff and students coming for the exam.” “Exams will take place tomorrow depending on the police operations to control the situation.”
