It is important as citizens that we understand some basic “standards of practice” in the operation of the Government of Papua New Guinea.

 Annually each District receives funding from the National Government which goes into the District Operating Account. The funds are received monthly or quarterly and deposited into the “operating accounts”. 

The deposits are routinely subject to National Department of Treasury cash-flow constraints. They are in two (2) categories. The District Service Improvement Plan (DSIP) receives annually K10 million and the District Service Grant (DSG) receives annually K500,000.

Enga Governor Peter Ipatas has made an undertaking to upgrade the status of Porgera High School to a secondary school in 2017.

“We are looking at upgrading Porgera High School status to a secondary school in 2017. However, we would first like to see standard learning facilities are in place as quality education is our priority,” he said.


Sir Peter made the statement before a capacity crowd at Porgera High School yesterday who were there to witness the official opening of a double classroom and delivery of a new truck to the school.

He said by 2020 Enga should have all its existing high schools being converted to secondary schools as that was one of the visions of the education reforms.
