EDUCATION in the country is not for students to pass examinations but it is for their survival in this fast changing world.
And students in all learning institutions in the country must learn as much as they can while in school to be competitive in this era of technology where knowledge is increasing and becoming a tool for living.

And students in all learning institutions in the country must learn as much as they can while in school to be competitive in this era of technology where knowledge is increasing and becoming a tool for living.
This was the message from the board of management and teachers of Tinsley
Primary School in Baiyer, Western Highlands Province, during their Grade 8
dedication service over the weekend before they sit for their national
examination this week.
Local councillor Puri Goiya, head master Solomon Buna and Grade 8 teacher Samson Lunga encouraged the student to sit for their examination not only to pass it but to do it as a matter of importance passing but to do them as their lives depend on it.
“This world is changing very fast everyday and those who are adequately educated will be able to live a satisfying life,” the school board and teachers told their grade eight students.
“Passing examinations were thing of the past but now education means survival and that is what student should have in mind when sitting for their examinations.”
Mr Lunga told his students that they have covered the entire grade eight curriculum and had revised it again so there should be no problems for the students.
“The lessons that that we have learnt will come in the exam papers so there should be no excuses,” Mr Lunga said.
All of Mr Lunga’s 42 Grade 8 students of last year reportedly passed and are continuing their grade nine.

The student leader and school president Joshua Pama thanked the teachers and
board members for their words of encouragements and the evangelist Kwan Lome and
others who dedicated the students to God.
After the dedication, the students went into their second part of the program which was feasting.
