The school on the Sogeri plateau outside Port Moresby received K10 million from Education Minister Theo Zurenuoc for infrastructure.
Prime Minister Peter O’Neill commended Sogeri National High School for its initiative in renovating dilapidating schools infrastructure.
“Sogeri National High School has taken a bold step in the erection of a double-storey eight-classroom block. This shows that this national high school is determined to provide a conducive learning environment through the provision of proper learning facilities for its students,” O’Neill said in his statement read by Zurenuoc.
