Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET)

New TVET initiative launched

The new skills initiative will expand support to TVET institutions in three locations, starting in Bougainville, the Western Highlands and Manus. 

This follows a joint commitment made between Australia and Papua New Guinea in August through the Comprehensive Strategic and Economic Partnership, signed during the virtual leaders’ summit between Prime Ministers Scott Morrison and James Marape.

The initiative was launched by Australian High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea, Jon Philp, at the Bougainville Technical College in Tinputz.

Electorate continues school fee assistance

Member for Moresby North-East, John Kaupa, says K3 million has been allocated; K1.5 million from his District Services Improvement Program and another K1.5 million from NCD Governor Powes Parkop’s Provincial Support Implementation Program component.

The school fee assistance has the full endorsement of the District Development Authority (DDA) and local Member John Kaupa; they have assisted students since 2018.
