Online Learning

Training Online is convenient

This year the college is introducing online training by equipping registered students with laptops and online lectures, making it more convenient and cutting down costs.

“Training online is convenient,” says Valerie Kaia, a 29-year-old woman of Simbu and Gulf (Kikori) parenthood.

She was one of those students who received a laptop computer from the Highlands Youth Training College (HYTARC) on Friday 2nd March 2024 together with 14 others.

DWU moves to online learning next year

DWU president Fr Jan Czuba said this was a strategic move by the university to cater for the growing number of school leavers that the institutions of higher learning (IHL) in Papua New Guinea, which includes the six universities, cannot accommodate.

He was speaking to staff on the Madang campus last week during the end-of-academic year review session.

Fr Czuba said something had to be done about the growing numbers of school leavers and online learning was DWU’s contribution towards addressing this socio-economic challenge.
