Students in the Western Province, who will sit for their exams next month, have been urged not to get involved in illegal activities that may interrupt them during their preparations for the national examination week. Following the resumption of term four academic period this week, Western students are reminded to prioritize their studies for better future. Western Provincial Education Advisor, Mr. Charlie Buia said all schools have prepared their students well and they are looking forward to sit the exams next month. “Grade 10, Grade 12 and Grade 8 students you have only one week left so focus on your exam. Teachers have done their part so it is up to you individual to do your best.” he said. He encourages students, saying that the future of the province and country as a whole lies on their hands, therefore should refrain from much social activities and roaming with peers at this time. “What you do today will determine your future. Doorway into tertiary institutions, Upper Secondary and high schools, lies on you.” said Mr. Buia. Grade 10 students attending Olsobip, Ningerum, Aiambak, Balimo Day, and Morehead high schools and Grade 12 students attending Tabubil, Kiunga, St. Gabriel Technical, Mougulu, Awaba and Daru secondary schools have been urged to maintain good behaviours and do best in their exams. Mr. Buia has also encouraged parents and guardians to support their children during the exam period so that students can sit and do their exams well.
