Wife of Prime Minister, Rachael Marape, encouraged students at her former High School, to engage in agricultural activities or start up small businesses.

Mrs. Marape spoke on behalf of her husband, the Prime Minister, at the Aiyura National School of Excellence, in Eastern Highlands.

The National High School graduated 280 students last week.

Mrs. Marape highlighted the availability of SME’s and agriculture. She told students that if they cannot find a space at tertiary institutions and colleges, they should consider returning to their land to run their own small agriculture businesses.

“There are thousands of you coming out of schools every year, but there are not enough jobs at the moment for you all,” she said.

Rachael Marape was a student at Aiyura from 1988 to 1989. She reassured the school principal, Mr Karl Puluma, she would take his requests for the repair and maintenance of school facilities at the graduation, back to the Prime Minister to consider.

From the 280 students who graduated with their Higher School Certificates, included 42 Stem students.

Stem is a new education program recently introduced by Prime Minister Marape. To develop highly skilled young people in the National Schools of Excellence for the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields.
