No incentive
The fee-free enrolment at Fode is not the incentive students want to do well during the year and ensure they pass their exams with good grades. Think about it.
Slow loan
A parent in Goroka is complaining that the processing of the school loan he had applied for at a bank is too slow, because everything has to be referred to the bank HQ. Oh, is it the bank’s fault?
Be prepared
It is only two weeks to the start of Term One. Some parents are still struggling to find money to pay the fees and buy school materials for their children. So unprepared.
All clear
Someone finally rolled away from the footpath the palm tree trunk which had been blocking it for ages outside the government offices in Waigani.
Mystery fees
There is something really fishy about the K700 people have to pay to fly out of the country. Does not make sense to penalise people for leaving. As if the airfraes are not already high.
Advice on women
Always be careful of what you hear about a woman. Rumors either come from a man who cannot have her, or a woman who cannot compete with her.
Food for thought
Life is like a piano. White keys are happy moments and black keys represent sad ones. But remember, both keys are played together to make sweet music.
