Hon. James Marape, Prime Minister, is proud to announce that 43 exceptional students from the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programme at the six national schools of excellence have been accepted into universities in the USA. Originally 55, 12 students chose to remain in Papua New Guinea.
These bright students, nurtured in Sogeri, Kerevat, Aiyura, Passam, Port Moresby, and Wawin national schools of excellence, will embark on their journey to the USA next week, supported by Papua New Guinea Government scholarships.
Prime Minister Marape played a pivotal role in the establishment of the national schools of excellence, unveiling the concept at Port Moresby National School of Excellence in 2020, with STEM as its flagship programme.
This achievement underscores Papua New Guinea’s commitment to fostering education and innovation on a global scale.
