Twenty students from Papua New Guinea have departed for China under the Destiny China Scholarship program to pursue studies at various universities. The students left the country over the weekend as part of the scholarship initiative.
Destiny China Scholarship Managing Director, Regina Orawi, confirmed that this group is the second batch of students, with the first already in China. She further noted that a third batch of students will follow once she returns to Papua New Guinea after ensuring the second group is settled in China.
