The North Guadalcanal Constituency (NGC) office, under the leadership of their Member of Parliament Dr Paul Popora Bosawai, handed hardware and building materials to 15 schools last Friday.
The support, worth $190,000, is part of the $3.2 million allocated under the 2025 Constituency Development Funds (CDF) budget for NGC, under the Preferred Supplier Arrangement (PSA) component, a statement by the Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) yesterday said.
“Education remains one of the top priorities for our constituency,” Mr Bosawai said.
This assistance demonstrates NGC’s ongoing commitment to education development and improving learning environments for both students and staff.
“This support underscores our confidence that education is the foundation for a brighter future. A path to success is through education. Education provides us with opportunities to prosper and excel. So, we are investing in the future.
“We are committed to working alongside schools to ensure students have the resources and opportunities they need to succeed, ” he said.
Bosawai also said that the transformative power of education is the most effective means to eliminate poverty.
“Education is the key to unlocking opportunities and lifting communities out of poverty. It is the foundation upon which individuals can build better lives, secure sustainable employment, and contribute meaningfully to national development,” he said.
Meanwhile, school leaders from Pitukoli Community High School, and Navola Primary School expressed profound gratitude to the NGC office for the generous assistance.
They said that the support will help schools in their development programs—particularly in building classrooms, staff houses, and other essential school infrastructure to provide a more conducive learning environment and space for students.
Bosowai reaffirmed his dedication to education development, emphasising it remains one of the top priorities for the constituency with its importance to ensure there is quality of education.
