Parent grateful for free education policy

A parent of two high school students in Port Moresby is grateful for the government’s free education policy.

Kene Aiyele comes from Pangia in Southern Highlands and is a police officer in the nation’s capital.

Aiyele thanked the government for this initiative as it has helped a lot of parents by taking a lot of financial burden off their shoulders.

Aiyele said paying for uniforms and stationery costs a lot of money.

Every year, he spends about K400 on uniforms and K300 on stationery.

“Before free education, we parents always had to dig deep into our pockets but now we are fortunate that we don’t have to pay school fees.

“We are now only responsible to get the necessary things that our children need for school to do well,” Aiyele said.

He added that they are looking forward to the academic year and he expects his children to perform better than last year.
