Bougainville education board members appointed

By STEPHANIE ELIZAH
THIRTEEN new appointees have been endorsed by the Bougainville executive council to serve on the Bougainville education board.
The council said the appointment of the new members was necessary as the term of the former members had expired on August 26.
The new education board members include Bruno Babato, who is chairman, Joseph Noro, Peter Toliken and Lucy Travertz, who represent the national government.
Members representing the Papua New Guinea Teachers Association, churches, local level government and community are Jonathan Ageva, Martin Takali, Simon Koraikove, Omepa Misirari, Frank Matapau, Roslyine Gatana, Peter Dosti, Nicolas Mangona and John Masiu.
Congratulating the new members, the executive council urged them to take seriously their roles as the board was the highest decision-making body responsible for education policies, activities and services.
