SELECTORS of tertiary institutions in PNG have been introduced to the government’s online selection system in a two-day consultation workshop which started yesterday.
Facilitated by the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology, the workshop is to train and prepare higher education selectors on using the online selection programme.

He said the department has been getting a lot of positive public feedback through the different modes. The National
