We need brains to create changes for PNG

 THE National Executive Council under the ministry of higher education, research, science and technology should have some money set aside to assist students to further their studies at overseas-based universities and colleges. 

There must be some kind of acknowledgement given  to  students  who  have maintained high grades during their term of studies. 

Those top students should be sponsored to do their masters or research  overseas. 

Likewise, those at the colleges  should proceed on to complete their other two  years at our local universities or overseas. 

This may apply to top performing Grade 12 students too. 

During  graduations,  private sector companies or non-government organisations are the ones to cheer up the hard-working students for their efforts.

They are the ones who give  them  awards  and  provide job opportunities. 

Though the government has done its best to provide education through the years,  one   part   that is still missing is it  fails to provide scholarships overseas for hard working students.  

Sheer motivation to study harder and score good grades for them to be recognised will be an outcome  of  the programme. 

More brains will compete for the top spots and every  year,  hundreds of our students will be enrolled at different institutes. 

The  onus is on the government  to create packages and networks with overseas universities to consider  our top students to study there.  

Just consider what the country will  be like when it has many brains to develop and steer the country ahread.
