Governance academy wanted in Papua

JAYAPURA, Irian Jaya: Around 200 subdistrict heads in Irian Jaya urged the provincial administration on Wednesday to reopen the Academy for Domestic Governance (APDN) next year to help improve the quality of human resources in the province.

The demand was raised during a meeting with Irian Jaya Governor Jaap P. Salossa.

Tonce Sarwa, head of the Skamto subdistrict in Jayapura, said such an academy was urgently needed in the province to further improve the skills and professionalism of locals.

"The quality of Papuans is no longer undoubtable. We only wait for more infrastructure to support education," he said. --Antara
