Port Moresby – The Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea (PNG), James Marape, has hope that future generations can excel through proper education. He said this while addressing students at Hope Institute in Tari recently, according to The National.
In his address, PM Marape said education was the greatest gift he could give his people and that money could only acquire materialistic things that would perish.
Education is the greatest gift I can give to you – my people. If I give you money now, it will be used to buy material things that will perish.
