Minister for Education Hon. Jimmy Uguro, MP is pleased to meet all school inspectors and provincial education advisers for the first time since he took office as the new Minister in January this year.
The inspectors and the PEAs will be here in Port Moresby for the week-long joint National Ratings Conference on Monday, May 24 – Friday, May 28.
“Inspectors play a very important role in our national education system. The work they do informs the government of the progress in education,” the Minister said.
The Department of Education is implementing a number of very important policies and programs which were developed using funds and resources provided by the national Government, development partners and stakeholders.
“We need to ensure that these policies and programs are being implemented, monitored and benefits they have on our students and teachers reported. This is where our school inspectors’ commitment, time and hard work are critical,” he added.
The Minister said he looks forward to meeting the inspectors and the PEAs on Sunday evening when he will officially open the conference.
