 A PARENT of Angoram Primary School in East Sepik wants the school administration to tell  parents what it intends to do with the 2013 tuition fee-free education money 

“Angoram Primary School also got its share but it hasn’t used it yet and as a result, students are suffering.”

The parent, who wants to remain anonymous, claimed that teachers materials received last week was not sufficient.

“We parents are still buying books, rulers and whatever necessary things for the children.

“To date my child has already received seven books that were last year’s issues.”

The school is understood to be a level five and the biggest in the district with more than 500 students.

“When the school administration is questioned, they say it’s none of your business to know. They say it depends on their administration and their own timing.”

The parent said the school was in a sorry condition.

“Blinds and blackboards are falling off.   It’s like a school in the bush.”
