Morobe Provincial Education Program Advisor Keith Tangui has announced it will collaborate Australian Football League (AFL) with its Niu Kick program to reach out to the most remote schools in the province. PPA Keith Tangui announced this at the Erap Primary School during his visit to launch the six cluster primary schools expo which commenced yesterday. He promised to work with the sporting code which has a program to link students to sports and academic activities to further their studies in Australia if they were selected. Tangui described the AFL initiative as a successive bridging program to connect young kids through sports and get them exposed to higher standard activities where they can play sports and at the same time study overseas. He has also promised six primary schools in Wampar LLG in Huon Gulf District to raise this initiative to Morobe governor Luther Wenge and his team to consider partnering with his department and the sporting code so that they continue rolling out in the province. AFL Inter Regional Manager Josephine Illa commended the PPAs announcement and said it would be a welcoming news for the department and students in the province if all partners collaborate and run this program. She stated that the Niu Kick program concentrates on sports and academic development thus this will be a welcoming story for all if the partnership program is put together and becomes a reality. AFL, SCRUM and PNG Sports Federation have attended the launching of Erap Gabmazum Primary Schools cluster expo yesterday. The event was set to exhibit students sports and academic abilities so that students gain confidence to perform out in public. It started yesterday and will continue till Friday as the country observes the 47th Independence Day.
