The Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology -DHERST hosted the Registrars’ Module Workshop in Port Moresby from 18th–19th November 2019 at the Crown Hotel. Participant Registrars of Higher Education Institutions acknowledged DHERST’s leadership and effort in developing and facilitating digital transformation in the higher education system.
One of the leading participants, University of Goroka Vice Chancellor, Prof Musawe Sinabare commended DHERST for its determinations in achieving digital transformation especially on the National Online
Application System (NOAS), the National Online Selection System (NOSS), and now the Registrars’ Module. These innovations have greatly influenced and streamlined previous labour-intensive processing of student applications, selections and student administration in the higher
education institutions.
Prof Sinabare also mentioned the value of a unified digital system in achieving uniformity across higher education institutions on policy and administrative differences that affect data quality and consistency. There were also calls for similar workshops for the different Education sub-sectors
– Teacher Colleges, Nursing Colleges, Business and Technical Colleges and specialized higher education institutions.
Some generic concerns raised by the participants include the transfer of Government Scholarships – HECAS students’ mobility, day students on HECAS, as well as quality and validity of Grade 12 School Certificates provided by non-school leavers applying for enrolment.
