Teachers, educators commit themselves

“Workmanship: God has created us for a life of good deeds.”

This was the theme for the Department of Education dedication service that was held yesterday at the Papua New Guinea Education Institute.

The service was to dedicate 2017 as the year for teachers and educators to commit themselves to their teaching profession.

Secretary for Education Dr Uke Kombra highlighted priorities to give children quality education, while the dedication service was to declare commitment to God, family and country to achieve the Vision 2050.

Dr Kombra said the department also wanted to see the standards of the school administration systems and teaching quality improve.

The department will also be looking into ensuring this year that teachers’ wages and benefits would be looked into decisively.
