National, Normal

SCHOOL students and teachers at Bomana Primary School in the National Capital District had every reason to smile yesterday after the official opening of three new teachers houses courtesy of Moresby Northeast MP Andrew Mald.
Mald, who was at the school to present the keys to the school chairman, urged parents and students to look after the property.
He encouraged students to set their aims at the primary school level and aspire to achieve them.
Mald said he aimed to build as many teachers houses as possible for teachers in his electorate.
He assured the school that by the end of November six more houses would be built for the school.
Mald said human resource, education and agriculture were paramount for a nation’s development.
He said when natural resources ran out, human resource would remain.
Mald made further calls for all parents, teachers and students to work collaboratively towards achieving PNG’s goals.
He commended the Correctional Services for granting the portion of the land to the school where the houses are currently situated.  
He said he had opted for the project because of the students’ future benefit.
 Mald said that when teachers got accommodated, they would be able to perform to their best resulting better educating students.
He also lauded the responsible contractor, Mack Construction, for their commitment into the three buildings giving his assurance that they would have the honour to build the next six houses.
 The three houses are part of the MPs pilot project and are valued at K700,000.
