Anga says Solomons Education Ministry will respond accordingly to USP SIG-students petition

The Solomon Islands Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development will respond to a petition submitted by government-sponsored students at USP in Suva, Fiji.

But Permanent Secretary Barnabas Anga says he is still to see the petition.

The petition relates to the continuous delay by the government to pay the students' book and living allowances.

They demand that the Ministry respond by the end of this month on a number of issues raised in relations to the allowance issue.

Permanent Secretary Mr Anga says the ministry will respond to the petition accordingly.

Meanwhile, it is understood that funds have already reached the student association's bank account in Suva, and will be distributed to students by this week.
