Teachers from the Porgera Secondary School in Enga Province are calling on the Provincial Government and the Provincial Education Authority to reconsider the decision of the PEA on the resumption of classes. Deputy Principle, Mr. Amos Amail has advised that the teachers informed the PEA and the Governor that they should not rush to reopen the school as there are many things that need to be prioritized. Mr. Amail said that they would like to have the issue of the displaced teachers sorted out and at the same time declare a State of Emergency in that part of the province. “We still have displaced teachers who are living with wantoks and many have fled the province, also we would like to see them declare a state of emergency and like more security personnel to help assist the police to maintain security,” Amail said. Meanwhile, the teachers at the Porgera Secondary School are still waiting on the Provincial Education Authority to release funds to help assist them in getting back on their feet. Amail said that he has now travelled to Wabag to sort this out. He added that many have taken shelter and refuge with their wantoks, some going to the extent of fleeing the province in the aftermath of the tribal fight that took lives and displaced many almost two months ago. During the fighting, many lost their belongings when both factions turned on the school, which led to the destruction of staff houses and classrooms.
