The CleanIT website which provides internet access to only educational websites such as Wikipedia and Britannica and others was installed at the school’s computer lab and administration block last Friday via Telikom PNG’s VLAN link.
Deputy Principal - Administration, John Onga in commending TFI’s assistance said the CleanIT solution had been an agenda for the school for the past two (2) years and the realization of the CleanIT connection was an achievement for the school.
“This internet online library will now take the burden off students and teachers going to libraries outside of the school premises to do research and also the buying of text books which are very costly for schools. With access to the CleanIT internet library, the students will now have access to world class online educational material. ” Onga said.
He also added that Goroka Secondary School was the second largest school in the region with more than 1500 students from all over the country and TFI was not only adding value to students of the Eastern Highlands province but the was helping children from all parts of the country.
CEO for Telikom Foundation Brian Sam said the Foundation’s aim is to give hope and transform the lives of the children in Papua New Guinea.
