DHERST To Focus On Teacher Training

Acting Secretary Dr. Francis Hualupmomi, during the recent 25th graduation ceremony said UOG’s focus and mandate now should be on teacher education and the step program.

“The government is now focused on building the human resources through higher and technical institutions.

“Higher and Technical Education Reform Act 2020 and subsequent amendments to the four state university ACTs which also includes the University of Goroka,” he added.  

Early childhood training partnership

This follows yesterday’s (March 9) successful meeting between the founder of Destiny schools, Pastor Patrick Bing, the national coordinator for New Covenant Ministry International (NCMI), Pastor Gershon Passingan, and Bismarck Teachers College Director, Linus Vairop.

Seeing the need for early childhood learning, NCMI established the Destiny schools in 2006 to address this. The 25 already established schools in ENB also called for quality teachers, resulting in this proposed partnership. 

This arrangement will also affect the 10 provinces where Destiny schools are located.
