NEW IRELAND STUDENTS NOT MISSING OUT: SAYS PROV EDUCATION ADVISOR

Students in New Ireland Province haven’t been missing out on their school lessons during this isolation strategy period. “According to the Circular by the Education Minister and I also sent out a provincial circular to all schools for teachers to make sure they are preparing work for their students from home on a weekly basis.” This is what the Provincial Education Advisor, Mr Apelis Benson said during an interview with this newsroom. “All our school vehicles and boats are travelling to main centres and distributing the students’school work.” “We are also encouraging students that are living around town that have access to radio and TV to listen in and watch the school broadcast programs.” Mr Benson added that once term 2 begins on April 19, 2021, students will go straight into the term 2 lessons. Schools can have extra classes in the evenings especially for those sitting for the National Exams at the end of the year. He further added that this time last year, schools had to operate with COVID-19 protocols in place so once term 2 begins, they already have plans on having shift classes. Meanwhile, Mr Benson has appointed a team to carry out inspections in all the schools in the province to make sure that schools are preparing for Term 2. Schools must provide hand sanitizers and arrange the classrooms so there is social distancing.

PNG CORRECTIONAL SERVICES BOOSTED TO RESPOND TO COVID-19

Major upgrades to facilities at Bomana Correctional Institution (BCI) has boosted the Correctional Services’ ability to safely manage and house detainees during the coronavirus pandemic. Detainees unwell with COVID-19 can now be held in safe and secure isolation from the general prison population, following the official opening of the dedicated facilities. The upgrade includes a 49-bed Separate Confinement Unit and a 15-bed Test Compound to house unwell detainees and those awaiting test results. This is part of Australia’s continued support to PNG’s COVID-19 preparedness and response efforts. The K1.17 million project, funded by the Australian Government through the PNG-Australia Partnership, involved extensive works on the former Maximum Security Institute to create a Separate Confinement Unit equipped with upgraded security and living facilities – including amenities suitable for people living with a disability - and the conversion of a disused building at the Correctional Services Training College into a Test Compound for up to 15 detainees being transferred from other parts of the corrections system. Correctional Service Minister Win Bakri Daki said the confinement of people in close proximity to one another made prisons a high-risk environment for COVID-19 infection. He said this risk was amplified in many institutions by chronic over-crowding and the opening of the Separate Confinement Unit and Testing Compound was a major boost to Correctional Service’s efforts to safely manage detainees infected, or suspected of carrying, the coronavirus. “We are committed to helping tackle COVID-19 in PNG prisons. We also have a duty of care for the health and safety of detainees, Correctional Service officers and their families,” Minister Daki said. “These facilities will go a long way to helping us fulfil that obligation by enabling us to house infected detainees in isolation from the broader prison population.” Australian High Commissioner Jon Philp said the Australian Government was committed to doing everything it could to help PNG combat COVID-19. “These facilities are part of Australia’s broader support for PNG’s pandemic response that will save lives and keep people safe.” Mr Philp said in addition to funding the construction of the Separate Confinement Unit and the Test Compound, the Australian Government had provided the Correctional Services with cleaning supplies, personal protective equipment and other vital supplies. More broadly, Australia has sent expert medical teams and provided 8000 vaccine doses to PNG to inoculate frontline medical staff and emergency workers against COVID-19, as well as ongoing support for extensive COVID19 public health campaigns.

GG SADDENED AT PASSING OF HRH PRINCE PHILIP

H.E. Grand Chief Sir Bob Bofeng Dadae, GCL, GCMG, KStJ, Governor General of Papua New Guinea, has on behalf of the nation, expressed his condolences to HM Queen Elizabeth II, on the passing of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip, last night. Grand Chief Sir Bob said, the passing of Prince Philip marks a sad day in history not only for the Royal family but also the Commonwealth of nations of which Papua New Guinea is a part of. Grand Chief Sir Bob remarked on the long and outstanding service rendered by the Duke of Edinburgh over the last 70 years as nothing short of remarkable and a reflection of outstanding loyal service to the Queen, Country and the Commonwealth. “The passing of the Duke of Edinburgh HRH Prince Philip marks a sad day in our history. A remarkable service of loyalty, love, sacrifice and dedication to the Queen, Country and the Commonwealth best describes HRH Prince Philip. During Her Majesty’s reign, Prince Philip had accompanied the Queen to Papua New Guinea on several occasions. Always a step behind the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh has been an unwavering support to the Queen and the Royal Family and took on the un-traditional role of supervising the royal household and raising the Royal Family at a time when household duties were the sole responsibility of housewives and mothers. As Her Majesty had once remarked, Prince Philip was ‘my strength and stay all these years’.” “During World War II, Prince Philip served on various battleships and was involved in the battle of Crete and the battle of Cape Matapan among others. He was credited with saving the HMS Wallace which came under heavy bombardment from German bombers during the invasion of Sicily. His quick thinking, courage and resourcefulness at the time when he was only 22 years of age, led him to devise a plan that saved the lives of the crew of the HMS Wallace.” “On behalf of our nation, I extend to HM the Queen our Head of State and the Royal Family our deepest sympathies and condolences on the passing of HRH Prince Philip. A loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grand father of the Royal Family, Prince Philip will be long remembered as a constant and unfaltering support to the Queen. Thank you Prince Philip for a remarkable and distinguished service to the Queen and the Commonwealth. Rest in Eternal Peace.”
