The Simbu Unitech Satellite University has been opened today at Kundiawa town, Chimbu Province.
The Papua New Guinea University of Technology (Unitech) vice chancellor, Albert Schram, says the satellite university will deliver Unitech’s diploma progams.
“The best graduates will have a special quota for admission to Unitech degree programs,” Schram tells Loop PNG.
“Simbu invested heavily in primary and secondary education and wanted a university.
“Unitech wants to externality its programs to contribute to national development and creation of a knowledge based and sustainable society.”
The university’s quota and requirements will be announced at a later date.
The vice chancellor says the opening comes exactly three years after Sir Nagora Bogan reconstituted a legitimate Council for Unitech.
