This was pointed out by Member for Maprik, John Simon, in the District Management Team meeting on Wednesday.
The MP stated that the district has set its goals under his leadership, with nine major agendas, including education and economic boost.
He said Maprik is a district that is well endowed in terms of income generating avenues such as agriculture and livestock, however this has not been utilised.
Education, he reiterated is seen as one of the platforms that will bring the much needed development to the district.
