China will make available a K50 million in grant following Prime Minister, James Marape’s attendance at the Third Belt and Road Forum in Beijing and his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Marape said the funding will go straight into the construction of business and technical facilities in selected secondary schools in the country.
“This will complement the government’s drive to have secondary school students learn business and trade skills,” said Marape
The government says this will place school leavers at an advantage when they leave school, they will be able to start their own small businesses from the knowledge and skills they have received, whether in agriculture, tourism, cookery, bakery, carpentry, auto mechanic or whatever technical skills they have picked up.
“I thank the Chinese Government for this grant as this is one of results that has arrived at the back of this visit,” Marape said.
