The Guadalcanal Provincial Government (GPG) has cleared $1,100,000 in outstanding student debt owed to Solomon Islands National University (SINU).
The provincial government in an official announcement on April 1 confirmed that the payment settles the remaining balance for its sponsored students with debts dating back to 2016.
GPG also acknowledged the previous premier Francis Sade and his administration from 2019 to 2024 for making significant progress in reducing the debt during its term.
The sponsored students are now encouraged to visit the SINU administration Office to verify their names, certificates and diplomas.
Meanwhile, the GPG has said it is developing a new scholarship framework that aims to improve transparency and accountability in the management of scholarship funds.
GPG said the new system will strengthen support for students while safeguarding public investments in education.
GPG also congratulated all graduates on their academic achievements and expressed confidence in their contribution to the province and the nation.
GPG said this milestone reflects its continued commitment to invest in education and the future of young people of Guadalcanal.
