Prime Minister James Marape lauded international schools (IEA Schools), for their remarkable contribution to the education sector in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
Marape said these institutions have diligently served the nation’s citizens for 48 years, since independence, providing quality education that meets global standards.
He was speaking at the 48th Independence Anniversary celebration at Koroboro International School in Port Moresby.
PM Marape acknowledged the significant role international schools played in the country’s development. The event, themed: “Our Country; Many Cultures, Embrace Diversity”, epitomized the unity within PNG’s rich cultural diversity.
“Koroboro International School is an exemplar of the many educational institutions that have set a high bar for delivering quality education based on moral principles and values to our children,” PM Marape said.
The school, a proud member of the International Education Agency (IEA), has made significant strides in servicing the children of PNG.
Marape recognized the sacrifices made by parents who invest their resources to facilitate their children’s education at schools like Koroboro International. He hinted at a potential tax relief initiative for parents sending their children to IEA schools, reflecting the government’s commitment to the ‘No Child Left Behind’ policy.
PM Marape also addressed the need for a societal change in how girls and women are treated in the country. He urged male students to respect and protect the dignity of women, emphasizing their role as the bearers of the nation’s future generation.
In his Independence message, PM Marape urged all citizens to foster respect, care, and love for one another, reflecting the government’s commitment to unity and progress.
