MP to assist with fees

tertiary students in Moresby South will receive school fee assistance from local MP Justin Tkatchenko.
He said K1 million had been allocated towards developing the education sector in the electorate.
Tkatchenko said former National Capital District Governor Powes Parkop had assisted with another K1 million, totaling to K2 million.
“Education is the key success to improve and develop the electorate hence we have given priority to those in tertiary education.
“The money will be used to pay for school fees for those enrolled in universities, colleges, flexible open and distance learning and technical and vocational education and training in the country,” he added.
Tkatchenko said they had seen positive outcomes from the scholarship programme.
“The recipients have found good jobs and they are now able to look after their families.”
