Message from the Board Chairman
It is indeed a great honour and responsibility to chair the Board of Directors for the next five years. I am grateful to members of the Board of MTI for choosing me to lead this growing, innovative and nationally owned private training institution that has been formally recognised and accredited by the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHERST), through the National Higher Education Technical Board (NHETB), to provide tertiary education and training for the next five years (2025–2029).
The driving force to help in earnest cannot be based on guilt or pressure; but a deep sense of inner gratitude emanates from the two-fold test, i.e., ability to do and the intention to deliver, thus the wherewithal to have the ability to help/assist co-existing with an inner desire of positivity to work and deliver is where we find ourselves blessed.
Formal education taps latent abilities and opens up an altogether different world. Education has enormous transformative power for any given crisis. Everyone deserves the best start in life, and that will not be possible without quality education. If we need our future to be just and sustainable, we have to think collectively. For this gathered effort, education is the strongest tool.
Education cannot be restricted to a single period of one’s life. Everyone, beginning with the most marginalised and disadvantaged members of our societies, must have access to lifelong learning opportunities for both employment and career perspectives, as well as personal knowledge and development. That is the sole purpose of Mapex Training Institute’s existence.
The Institution’s mission is to attract and develop exceptional students and lecturers from all backgrounds to serve with their “hearts” a meritocratic Papua New Guinea. MTI is an inclusive institution that celebrates and embraces diversity. Diversity for us is in terms of geography, culture, socio-economic background, and skill sets. Differentiated learning and lecturing strategies, along with an inclusive approach, are at the core of the curriculum. We recognise MTI is uniquely different from other established private and public tertiary institutions in PNG due to its mission.
