"On Tuesday July 21, 2009 in Port Moresby, The Honourable Governor Luther Wenge (MP) received the
first grant of 10,000,000 Kina from the Department of National Planning
and Monitoring to begin building and infrastructure rehabilitation for the
Lutheran University in the Morobe Province. These funds were released from the Rehabilitation of Education Sector Infrastructure
funds (RESI funds). Governor Wenge then presented the full amount to the Lutheran University of Papua New Guinea to
commence work as soon as is possible. An additional six million Kina will be disbursed before the end of
2009. The release of these funds had been delayed related to a freeze that had been put on the Trust Fund by the Ombudsman
Commission. The freeze was lifted by a court order. This infusion of new funding will provide greater opportunities
for employment, development of educational resources, and most importantly
educational advancement opportunities for the citizens of Papua New Guinea in the near future and in particular for
advancing the establishment of LUPNG."

What is Happening?
LUPNG is instituting
a four-year Degree Granting Lutheran University. It is now preparing to be open to students of all faith and ethnic backgrounds.
The University will encourage Professional Development and support Advanced Degrees for Lectures in PNG who are committed
to teach at LUPNG. LUPNG has contracted Charles Sturt University from New South Wales to provide this service. This is an
extremely important undertaking as there is a critical need to upgrade the existing faculty and provide well-qualified lectures
with an emphasis on Early Childhood Education for the Lutheran University
Currently
LUPNG has contracted Infratec Management Consultants to develop a Master Plan for new and renovated buildings so as to provide
an attractive, comfortable, and well-planned campus in Lae. The stakeholders desire the master plan to insure a sound, uniquie,
quality, and a high-powered model-university for Papua New Guinea.
The master plan will determine how the University’s
infrastructure will be organized, maintained, and phased in. It will give stakeholders an idea of how the University
will look in 10, 20, or even 50 years.
