WYMPID 5/3/23:  WE’RE BUILDING BUGATI JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 

by Hon. Kessy Sawang, MP, 06 March 2023.

I visited Bugati Junior High School to see progress of work at both junior high school & primary school.  Last year, we allocated some funds to build some infrastructure (teacher house & classroom).  

The teacher house at the primary school will be opened in 3 weeks time.  

We have committed funds to build a 4-in-1 classroom and the head master’s house at the junior high school this year.  We are also building water supply for the institution this year.  Next year, we will build dormitories.  

I thank Bom, Lalok and surrounding communities for their undivided support to build our institution.  Appreciate also your big welcome, which I didn’t expect, as I was only doing my job.  

Bugati High School was approved by PEB and established in 2020.  Currently, there is no infrastructure.  They are using primary school facilities.  The same story is for Erima and other junior high schools.

I raised this matter at the Provincial Assembly that the PEB must liaise with DDAs before establishing these schools.  We DDAs build the infrastructure.  I don’t want junior high schools mushrooming everywhere whilst teachers live in bush material houses and they borrow primary school facilities to teach.

Congratulations & appreciation to Mr Mewo, all teachers, students and community for your resilience and efforts.
