Management is key, says head teacher

PROPER management is the key to achievement, a head teacher says.
Alfred Moka, the head teacher of Nanga Emmanuel Primary School in Mt Hagen, Western Highlands, said many believed that little funding resources would not make any differences, but that was not true.
Moka is the pioneer head teacher at the newly-built Nanga Primary.
The school was established in 2009.
Moka said since 2009, the school had 600 students with 18 teachers, six double classrooms and 18 permanent staff houses.
He said it was a challenge to start something out of nothing but because of proper management the school has come this far.
He said the school needed proper fencing, purchase water tanks, build toilets and a new library with a science laboratory.
Moka said infrastructure development in his school had been erected from the tuition-fee free funds.
He said this year out of the 600 students, the school only received K500 as parental component but that would not stop him from carrying out the task he was focusing on.
“I have been managing the little at the first place to change the image of the school and staffs, students and teachers will continue to witness little changes taking place.”
