Czuba plans online tutorial system

The Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology plans to implement an online tutorial system to cater for students who cannot make it into tertiary institutions.
Department Secretary Jan Czuba told the National Development Forum at Laguna Hotel in Port Moresby last week that the issue of a large number of students not securing places at tertiary institutions due to space availability needed to be addressed.
“The Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology plans to set up centres in each province for students to register and attend online tutorials,” Czuba said.
“It is all about bringing the university to their doorstep.
“If they cannot make it to university, we bring the university to them.”
He said the plan to build a university in the Highlands region would cater for 6000 undergraduates and 4000 post-graduate. The construction of the university was a priority, he said.
The three-day forum was facilitated by the Consultative Implementation and Monitoring Council.
