Head: Engage experts to equip teachers

 TEACHERS in primary schools lack practical skills to teach pupils how to realise their own potential and utilise available resources to earn a living.

Omili Primary School headmistress Doreen Boas noted the lack in skills that could enrich teachers to educate pupils.

“Education is the heart beat of human life and teachers need diverse information apart from core subjects taught at schools to stimulate pupils’ interest to encourage them to realise their potentials,” Boas said.

Boas spent 37 years as a teacher in Lae when the education reform system came into being in early 2000.’

Boas realised the usefulness of agriculture when support services contract facility manager Ken Elonaga presented the importance of the organisation and what it does to enhance rural farmers improve their lives.

“Human life is founded on agriculture therefore with Make A Living subjects, we should use  credible information.

“Engage specialists to visit schools and enrich teachers with applicable skills,” Boas said.

He said the information should be made available in libraries.
