Over the years. there has been a level of immorality in tertiary institutions in Papua New Guinea particularly at the hands of morally corrupt academic staff who seem to be exempt from disciplinary response.
The Divine Word University had a senior lecturer in Journalism who lived in his apartment with one of his gay students who was his lover. He removed his wife but wanted his grave beside her in the village after he died.
There was a paedophile on the Board of Governors to keep the lid on the issue.
The same happened at the School of Medicine when a senior lecturer lived with a gay male medical student. This shamed other staff and disgusted fellow students who wondered about the effect this would have on his exam results. Is the student a doctor now?
There was a private high school in Port Moresby with a principal who married a grade 8 student and made her pregnant. She left her studies.
The International Education Agency used to be a haven for gay and lesbian expatriate teachers. So too the expatriate HIV/AIDS consultants from Australia.
I was a secondary teacher. What would be the reaction if I took a male or female student to live with me during school years?
