Two primary schools in the Kombiu Local Level Government (LLG) in Rabaul District of East New Britain (ENB) province have received K50, 000 cheque funding each to assist in the school’s upgrade and other needs for the school. ENB Governor, Michael Marum visited the two schools, Sikut Matupit primary and Matupit Island primary at the Sikut Matupit ward and presented the cheques. Governor Marum was accompanied by Deputy Provincial Administrator Social Services, Marakan Uvano, Kombiu LLG President, Michael Warium and other officers from the Governor’s office. Whilst presenting the cheques, Marum said in his one year of service as the Governor of the province, the best thing was going out to visit the communities and meeting children. Governor Marum said that with the little contribution from the province to the schools, the students can go a long way to have a better future for themselves. “Some of the students are still crowding up in one classroom, therefore this assistance given to them is to help these schools build learning facilities for the students.” Marum added that there are many services that need to be also improved such as roads and electrification, and they are working on that to better these services in the LLG and other areas as well. The total K100, 000 funding that was given to the two primary schools was from the Provincial Service Improvement Program (PSIP) funding.
