Milestone graduation for Nebilyer locals

THE people of Hap-Wara in Nebilyer, Western Highlands, witnessed 81 pioneer grade 10 students graduate on Friday.
Hap-Wara area is notorious for tribal fighting over the last 40 years.
The entire population has missed out on a basic education and services.
It was indeed a momentous occasion as the new Lower Nebilyer Provincial High School graduated such a large number of students.
Governor Paias Wingti – through his education policy – built the school in 2016.
Hundreds of lives and properties worth millions of Kina were destroyed in tribal fighting since the 1970s in Nebilyer.
The inaugural graduation was witnessed by provincial education planner Joseph Mangbil, education advisor Nokks Kiap, deputy chairman of provincial education board Peter Pilamp and Deputy Governor Michael Mai.
