Classes Suspended In Morobe

Morobe’s Provincial Program Advisor for Education, Keith Tangui, said the board has decided that classes will resume on July 25th, considering teachers are involved in the electoral process, and election-related violence has been increasing.

“A lot of problems are brewing and fighting and burning of ballots and other things so we are giving them 1-week extension today.”

Tangui further spoke of the damages sustained by Markham Valley secondary during the riot on Saturday, saying the Electoral Commission is only hiring the venue.

Following this, a school ancillary staff was attacked by a drunken youth who entered the school premises.

School Deputy Principal Alfred Gem said while the police and the school administration were still investigating the break and enter incident, their staff member was beaten up by the drunkard over issues relating to money. Students tried to retaliate, but the drunk was escorted out of the school area. Mr Gen said the intoxicated youth was later taken down to the police station.
