Prime Minister James Marape announced that his government will be looking at relieving some financial loads of parents who send their children to private schools.

During a speech at the Waigani Christian College recently, Marape said they should have a scheme come next year 2025.

Marape expressed his gratitude to all the parents who have always prioritized their children’s education by enrolling them in privately owned educational institutions.

He acknowledged the sacrifices that parents make in order to provide for their children with a better education and promised to support them in their efforts.

The PM said the government will be implementing a scheme to provide assistance to those families who send their children to private schools, as they often have higher fees compared to public schools.

He emphasized that the government’s goal is to ensure that all children in Papua New Guinea have access to quality education, regardless of whether they attend public or private schools.

The Prime Minister also mentioned that the government will be reviewing their policies and budget allocations in order to make this plan a reality by the year 2025.

He assured the parents that the taxes they pay will be utilized to support their children’s education.
