Universities in PNG managed only by the best can survive in the competitive real world.

By PNG FIRST UPNG and Unitech have been falling backwards for many years.  Divine Word passed up these 2 government unis long ago.  The reason is obvious.  DWU president comes from European culture and DWU is run more like a foreign uni.  It doesn’t matter if Father Jan Czuba is a citizen or not. He grew up overseas and manages in a way the rest of the world aspires to. He has a European concept of time and in making decisions that look at long term needs. The way Father Czuba runs Divine Word is the way all PNG unis should be run.  At the moment our two government universities have management system mostly run by nationals. You can see the difference right way both these unis are rundown.  University of Goroka shows better influence than Unitech or UPNG but still far behind DWU.  The corruption at the government universities has created moral problems, rundown infrastructure and bad education for students.  We have a problem with the concept of maintenance in PNG that is mostly absent

By PNGBLOGS   On Thursday, 12th December 2013, the council of the PNG University of Technology will decide the fate of UniTech Vice Chancellor Albert Schram.  At stake is the standard of education UniTech students will be getting in coming.    The Sevua investigation of Schram and resulting report has now attracted the support of Port Moresby’s anti-corruption activists, becoming part of their list of demands aimed at the perpetually misleading government of Peter O’Neill.  The anger deepens and spreads because the UniTech scandal is a case study in the O’Neill government’s blatent tolerance of injustice.
