PUBLIC NOTICE
To: All ex Year 3s of 2020, 2921, 2022, 2023 and 2024
From: Pr Jonathan Kua Principal 2025
1. This is an important notice to all former year 3 students who are awaiting graduation. The Governing Council and administration of the KLTC wish to apologize to all of you of the long delay. We tentatively suggested February 13th as day for graduation and this date is NOT possible for the following reasons given here below;
a. The vetting took longer than expected.
b. Academic Board approved it and the Governing Council endorsed it yesterday 3rd of February. There were two categories of students: Eligible and Queried.
• The name of those who were eligible will be sent to Port Moresby for DHERST and NED Secretaries for approval and printing of their PRC or Provisional Registration certificates. The graduation will be after the printing of PRC. The graduation date is now differed to a later date.
• Those who are on query list will have to fix their documents and other things as required in preparation or their graduation in November or December, 2025. The query list is now published and put on the Notice for your awareness and action. The eligible list is not going to be published as it must be approved by the two secretaries first. But you can work it out. If your name is not in the other, it is in the other one.
2. The Governing Council and Administration are not concerned about graduation because they have Diploma to give you. But, they are concerned about your employment therefore, they worked very hard to do your vetting and have your PRC printed for you so you can use it for employment.
3. There will be no student left behind, if you are eligible, prepare for your graduation. If you are on query list, get your documents and things in order that the vetting committee wanted you do and by October, your names will be sent to Port Moresby for approval and printing of your PRC for your graduation in November, 2025. See Rev. Berry for advice.
4. For outstanding fees and other requirements, see the accounts office to fix it. No certificates will be given out until these debts are settled.
5. There are many students who did not complete their course or deregistered for various reasons, you have grace period of two years. Year 2s have this year 2025 only to readmitted and complete their studies. Year 3s have this year 2025 and next year 2026 to complete their study. In 2027 all will start as year1 and you will apply online to be accepted for studies as year 1. We were directed by DHESRT to phase out and this is how it will be.
6. We sincerely apologize for further delay, but it is necessary that we do things correct and right for your graduation and employment. Please find space in schools and teach while you await these things.
We thank you all for your understanding and patient.
God bless you all.
