BYAloysius Laukai
Another opportunity for Bougainville students has opened on Bougainville.
Grades Ten and twelve school leavers can now futhervtheir studies through the University of Technology's Department of Distance Learning(DODL) which now has agencies throughout Papua New Guinea.
This was revealed by the deputy principle (academic) of Hutjena Secondary School and DODL cordinator, WAMSIE SAI on New Dawn Fm's talk back program this week.
MR SAI said that first semester had ended amd registration on for semester two applications.
He said similar to the UPNG Program, tyey are also offering courses at K200 per subject and another K100 for facility fees.
He said that classes are held for two hours per subject every Saturday morning.
The cordinator further explained that Grade ten leavers can complete their programs within two years whilst Grade 12 leavers can just upgrade within a year and apply to colleges or universities.
More information can be obtained by contacting MR WAMSIE SAI at the Hutjena Secondary School.
This is great opportunity for many of our people. I came to know an inspirational guy who went through the same system. Having missed out on opportunities he enrolled into the UPNG extension program. He got a diploma in accounting before enrolling into the UPNG internal degree program. He is now an internal auditor with the New South Wales State government here in Sydney. So the opportunities are there........
