Education

Acting Chief Secretary and Secretary of the Department of Personal Management (DPM), Mr John Kali said this when renewing the agreement with Divine Word University (DWU) for the university to continue offering Masters and Bachelor degree programs for public servants.

Mr Kali signed the agreement with DWU President Fr Jan Czuba at the Madang campus last Friday, paving the way for the third cohort of public servants to take up the Master of Public Administration (MPAdmin) and Bachelor of Public Administration (BPA) programs this year.

Mr Polye said for the government to announce that K55 million budgeted for tuition fees had gone missing was an irresponsible attitude.

He says this demonstrates the government’s lack of interest in fighting corruption that has destroyed the fabric of our society.

“What O’Neill and his Education Minister should have done is to tell the country what actions the government was taking to bring those responsible to justice and if possible recoup the stolen money.
