Funded by the Australian and New Zealand Governments, the government project is worth over 12-million Solomon dollars and distributes pre-packed agriculture equipment, consisting of 21 different items.
The project is expected to address issues of the lack of basic tools and equipment in four Secondary School practical subjects – including Agriculture, Home Economics, Technology and Science.
Meanwhile, in Malaita, the Province’s Education Authority has called on schools in the province to take care of tools students received from the Government Funded pre-packed Agricultural tools projects that was recently distributed to schools in the country.
More than 50 schools in Malaita were recipients of the project.
Richard Hou in Afio, South Malaita reports the Education Authority wants school recipients to use the agricultural tools properly and take good care of them.
“The Malaita Education Authority asked that all recipient schools to ensure that the tools be well looked after and use them properly, especially during practical lessons to ensure that they are used properly.”
Mr Hou also reports the Malaita Education Authority says the Agricultural Tools Project is a great boost for schools in the Province which are learning practical subjects.
The tools are part of a Government Project based in the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, worth over 12-million Solomon dollars, and was funded by the Governments of Australian and New Zealand.
