Explain UPNG graduation delay

Letters

WE should have graduated from the University of PNG in April.
Four months have passed and we want to know what is really causing the delay.
Can the vice chancellor, the registrar, the deans and the executive officers of the five schools look at some college and universities on how they have hundreds of student’s graduating in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic?
Is prolonging graduation a tactic to evade the cost of hosting the graduation? Covid-19 is here to stay like any other diseases.
To move on in life and find job in this trying times is uneasy and the employers will want the degree/diploma papers as an eligible criteria to be employed so we need our certificates now.
What is the real issue?
I am calling on the Higher Education Minister Nick Kuman to help us address this.

  • Graduate in absentia – send all their degrees/diplomas to their home addresses. Saves costs and prevent the spread of COVID-19. They need to find employment too – and employment is in abundance in PNG too.

  • What are they waiting for? Its taking them too long just for holding a senate meeting for approval. Are they trying to device a way to retain this stupid K600 graduation fee or what? If they are thinking on that line, cammon covid-19 has greatly affected the PNG economy, K600 is very hard in such times, Jest please give us our Papers asap.. Please! please! please!

  • Follow UOG’s style. They already distributed the student’s certificates to enable them to find employment. UPNG wants to formally graduate their students because they will make maoney from the graduating students ….. Graduation fees of K1000.00 each graduating student form K600 they collected per graduand last year.
