By Aloysius Laukai

The Regional member for Bougainville and Minister for Bougainville Affairs, FIDELIS SEMOSO today called on the Education division on Bougainville to immediately look at reforming the Education system on Bougainville.
MR. SEMOSO said that the new system which looks at the quantity and not the quality is failing in imparting quality education to the students.
He said he would like the Education reform on Bougainville go back to the Village Tokples System which made the school children speak English at Elementary Schools.
MR. SEMOSO said for Bougainville to move forward it must make sure that its students who are future leaders get quality education.
The Regional member said that he was sad to see today’s Grade 10 students unable to speak English.
MR. SEMOSO was speaking at the Opening of a Double Classroom at the Sohano Primary School this morning.
He had contributed FOUR THOUSAND KINA towards this classroom.
And at today’s opening, MR. SEMOSO presented another TEN THOUSAND KINA to the Sohano Primary School.

Gretings from New Orleans, USA. I recently visited my son in Perth and brought with me some letters from Std IV students at Turibouri school in Buin written in 1966. I pointed out that the level of English those students exhibited was a source of pride in the mission schools at the time. I was leaving Turibouri to become Education Officer for the Catholic Missions. As such I continued to urge that we maintain high standards of education while moving to give all children the opportunity to advance. Thank you for New Dawn. Patrick Mallinson

Is the 4K and 10K from his personal money?
If so then good on him. Else, if it is government money then please state so, and from which bin in the budget.

Spontaneous spending is shallow and usually the schools who need it the most usually miss out - talking length and breath of ARoB.
