Kumul College not recognized

The Papua New Guinea Education Department will not recognize the Kumul Teachers College in Port Moresby, as a training institution.

Education Secretary Dr Uke Kombra said this following reports the college failed to meet requirements of the department.

The privately-owned institution has started enrolling students for the 2018 academic year without seeking approval from the government.

Dr Kombra says the department has a school registration policy for interested individuals and groups to apply, and any teacher training done outside the national education system is illegal.

Dr Kombra is appealing to parents not to send their children to attend the institution because the department does not recognize it.
