Speaking at the cheque presentation on Thursday at the Caritas Girls Secondary School in Port Moresby, NCD Governor Powes Parkop said since its inception in 2008, NCD TVET and school-fee assistance program has relieved many disadvantaged guardians, parents and their children in tertiary institutions.
Parkop said more than K40 million has been invested in the program, benefitting over 35,000 students since.
He added that today, some 1001 students were the proud recipient of subsidy.
The program complements the National Government’s Tuition Fee Free policy.
