Dei MP Wesley Nukundi Nukundj has presented K7000 to
the Bunum Pinz Students Association at the association’s launching in
remote Kurunga village of Dei district Western Highlands Province last
week.
The money came from the District Services Improvement
Program funds. It will be used as a seed capital to start up the
students association’s account.
The association was purposely formed to improve the
standard of literacy in this remote village, according to its
chairperson Jacob Mel, who is a lecturer at the Melanesian Nazarene
Teachers College in the Jiwaka Province.
Mr Nukundj was represented by district administrator
Steven Korowa, district education officer Batamai Tipi, deputy chairman,
joint district planning and budget priority committee Palem Ruing and
Barry Rungwa, a representative from the Governor for Western Highlands.
The education officer and Mr Rungwa, in a joint
statement, told the gathering that forming students associations is a
way forward and it correlates with the priorities of Mr Nukundj and
Governor for Western Highlands Province Paias Wingti, towards improving
education system in the district and the province.
“Since education is the first priority of the MP for
Dei and Governor for Western Highlands, we has their representative are
here to make you students know that we will assist in whatever ways
necessary to aid you in your learning,” Mr Rungwa said.
Mr Korowa said within the two years of Mr Nukundj in
office as MP for Dei, he has supported and made available funding for
major impact projects in the district’s education sector. These projects
includes double classrooms in schools in the electorate.
