Morobe’s Provincial Program Advisor for education, Keith Tangui, said students were psychologically put off with a good number of schools reporting a rise in absenteeism.
No school in Morobe made the top performing list for Grade 12s, while Busu Secondary School’s Grade 10s came second in the 2022 national examination.
“Many students were not coming to school, as reported by the principals,” Tangui outlined.
