Prime Minister launches polytech institute in Enga

EDUCATION institutions will be receiving more Government support because they will be the nursery for the country’s future educated population, Prime Minister James Marape says.
Marape launched the new Hela Opene Polytech Institute for Enga in Wabag on Wednesday.
He said the Government was prioritising education because the country’s future depended on it.
Marape said education was the hope for the children and the Government.
He commended Enga Governor Sir Peter Ipatas for establishing the new polytech.
Marape said his Government was willing to work with leaders who were performing and promoting education like Sir Peter.
“This new polytech will continue to receive support from the national government for three years until 2025 when it gets direct funding after its completion,” he said.
Marape told Sir Peter: “You have championed education in the country and the vision of this new polytech is part of your vision in education.”
Marape gave K5 million to the polytech to help with the construction phase.
