Secretary for Education, Dr Uke Kombra, thanked the Education Minster and the government for the continuous support given to education especially with funding given this year towards tuition fees and project fees.
The Secretary made these remarks during the official launching of the National Examination results for grade 10, 12 and STEM students this week in Port Moresby city.
“Last year we got about 14.6% and this year has gone up to 15%, so there has been an increase in the overall total budget for the education sector. That demonstrates the commitment of the Marape-Rosso government towards education.”
In addition, Dr Kombra also highlighted the support of funding in each area of the education sector including National School of Excellence, Technical Vocational Education & Training (TVET) and Flexible, Open and Distance Education (FODE).
