Another full plate of T-bone steak and 12 pack of cold beer...by now Joey is bloated....20 minutes, Joey is at the buai market, decides to have a buai but his friends are there and tease him to sample the 'Live Love', Joey refuses, but after much teasing he gives-in though there is no more room in his tummy..takes-in a full 4 liter container..by now all the working mechanisms in his tummy are drowning under load....even then Joey decides, under all odds, that he has to finish off with a full mouth of buai....the fine line of forbearance is crossed, the volcano erupts, tinfish and rice, coffee and beer, t-bone steak and livelave, buai and stomach fluids all shoot through the mouth and nose drills into a heap of gunk & slime....metaphorically, THIS IS THE FREE EDUCATION POLICY OF PETER O'NEILL and THE PNC PARTY.David Hellahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015301602256948383.post-20295731141945212932017-05-18T08:19:23.045-07:002017-05-18T08:19:23.045-07:00I think PNC Education Policy has been tried as we ...I think PNC Education Policy has been tried as we all see from recent years but nothing good came out of it all we see was the negative effects and I for one think that should be stopped nothing is free in this world.

Nonetheless, I think its better both the parents and the Government should share the burden. 50% by the government and 50% by the parents. If we rely only on the government, sometimes when money and resources does not reached on time, most of the schools are suffering or not up to date. Just share the burden is better for quality education.Antony Paulusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015301602256948383.post-10342034278044070322017-05-18T00:21:51.666-07:002017-05-18T00:21:51.666-07:00People, support Polye's subsidised education p... People, support Polye's subsidised education policy. Free education policy will only drain the taxpayers' pocket, produce low quality human resource, create dependency on govt again passing the burden to the taxpayers and most importantly will encourage parents and parents to be to recklessly or irresponsibly or carelessly produce children beyond what they can support or provide for.

Innovation, creativity, progress, success and prosperity are products of discipline, sheer hardwork, commitments and sacrifices. <br /><br />Govnt policies must be principle based. Policies that should make people discipline, work hard, be committed and make sacrifices and become productive.<br /><br />Policies that encourage FREE LIFE are not helpful. Nothing is free in this world. For instance, a classroom now is a hectic space filled to capacity with kids. The teacher student ratio is 1:70 or more, three times higher than normal which is the outcome of Free Education. You don't expect quality teaching, learning and quality output in this kind of environment. <br /><br />Something that is free encourages Laziness and destroys the inbuilt potentials in someone to become smart. Laziness contributes to a sick and unproductive society and increases the level of poverty. <br /><br />These days kids are taking life for granted and we are seeing a mass population of joy-riders, undisciplined, taking their education as jokes, completely different from lives 15 - 25 years ago.<br /><br />God gave a new formula in life to Adam and Eve when they disobeyed and that is to SWEAT YOUR GUARDS, TILL THE SOIL and support your lives. God's way is all about self reliant, not dependent. God never said live a free life. <br /><br />Govnt policies must always harmonize with the sure Words and Principles of God. A govnts policy that is geared towards Free life is totally contradicting God's Words. It demeans and dishonors the Creator God as nobody to men. Its very destructive.<br /><br />Hence, at least A SUBSIDIZED POLICY IS BETTER THAN JUST FREE.<br /><br />"No Pain = No Gain"<br />°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°Peter Molunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015301602256948383.post-75341822112599395062017-05-18T00:18:21.947-07:002017-05-18T00:18:21.947-07:00Thanks Peter for comparison and contrast here.

Compulsory education should be introduced later as Education System in PNG needs to be overhauled. There are a lot of issues that need to be addressed by the Government such as the state of School buildings, lack of stationery, Teacher's packages. One of the main issues as well is the living standards of Papua New Guineans both in Urban and Rural settings. Government need to enrich the lives of millions of people that struggle to survive each day.

Whilst there maybe increases in student enrollments and school attendance by children, the fact that there will be a lack of school infrastructure such as classrooms etc may result in a diminishing quality in academic output amongst our young people.<br />What does this mean for government and business in the future? An absolute disaster with a regressive system of governance and a retarded economy unable to lift itself up due to the lack qualified manpower and expertise. This amongst many other issues are the likely result of PNC's TFF Policy.<br />On the other hand, THE Party and Don Polye's policy of compulsory and subsidized education may look tough and may cause initial hardship for many parents. However when examined closely, such an education policy is aimed at ensuring that the future for our children, students and parents is going to be less troublesome to put it mildly but much more progressive. Out streets of Port Moresby and cities and towns in our country for instance will have less or no children begging on our streets. We will be developing a much more responsible and accountable society as parents and adults generally learn to take responsibility for the education and general well being of their children, nephews, nieces and other relatives. These are some of the benefits of THE Party's education policy. Of course there will other problems and issues with the policy but what is vitally important is the longer term is the sustainability of the two different education policies and whether they can withstand the test of time and changing circumstances in the economy and society generally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
