Morobe’s Program Advisor for Education, Keith Tangui told Inside PNG that more than two hundred
students from two Secondary Schools in Lae didn’t sit for their National Written Expression Exam on
Monday due to continuous fights along Lae’s backroad area.
Tangui said the fight was believed to be caused by election related violence along the backroad area and
Bumayong.
This prevented the students of Malahang Technical Secondary and Bumayong Secondary
school from attending classes.
Mr. Tangui said the students who didn’t sit for the exam have to report to the Principal of the schools
and to the Board of Governors in order to have a position reserved for next year.
Tangui said the students have the right to education, therefore they shouldn’t be rejected by the Schools.
Meanwhile, the Provincial Education Advisor called on the communities to refrain from fighting and
respect the students’ education and school infrastructure.
