The Yaralum Primary School, located in Wabag district in Enga province went up in flames this morning. Enga Provincial Education Director Mr. Was Rowatina told PNG HAUSBUNG in an interview today that this incident is linked with a previous incident in Wabag and the 2022 National Election political violence. He said, he will give a full status report of the incident once he gets a full report tomorrow, 25th June on what transpired. Mr. Rowatina described the burning down of the classroom as a ‘terrorist attack’. “Awareness is carried out and we are always telling them that we got the law-and-order operations team here, but these are terrorist actions.” “These fights are tribal fights and a spill-over off the elections in 2022.” He further stated that, once school resumes next week (1st July 2024), students will be relocated to other neighbouring primary schools like Wabag primary and 3 other schools to continue their academic calendar and learning.
