Department of Treasury PNG 2024 Budget Live Parliament Session

In a highly anticipated event during today's live streaming of the PNG Parliament sitting on the 28th of November 2023, Treasurer Ian Ling-Stuckey presented the 2024 Budget, themed "Securing Our Future." The Treasurer highlighted key aspects of the budget, emphasising the government's commitment to responsible financial management.

Key Budget Figures:

• Total Budget: A substantial K27.3 billion, marking a K2.8 billion increase from the 2023 budget.
• Revenue: A significant boost to K23.3 billion, surpassing the 2023 figure by K3.8 billion.
• Deficit: Despite the substantial budget, a disciplined approach resulted in a deficit of K3.9 billion.
• Capital Budget: Allocating K10.7 billion for crucial infrastructure and development projects.
• Priority Sectors: Noteworthy allocations include K6.67 billion for Health and Education, K1.2 billion for Power and Water supply, and K1 billion for the Connect PNG initiative.
• Household Assistance: A K440 million package to address cost-of-living pressures on families.

Education Investments - Key Points:

• The government is significantly boosting investments in health and education with a substantial budget of K6.67 billion in 2024.

• K4,081.6 million has been allocated for education, representing 14.9% of the total government budget.

• The Government Tuition Fee Subsidy Scheme (GTFS) has witnessed a substantial increase from K764 million to K851 million.

• An extra 3400 teachers will receive support with a 5% increase in funding, contributing significantly to the improvement of education services.

Department of Treasury PNG Treasurer's Vision

During his parliamentary address, Treasurer Ling-Stuckey emphasised the government's dedication to fiscal responsibility. 

He outlined a plan for budget repair with the goal of returning to a surplus by 2027, further aiming to clear all debt by 2034.

Importantly, the government is supporting (and needs to strengthen) the key institutions within the Department of Education and the Department of Higher Education to ensure the effective utilisation of this substantial investment.

Economic Growth and Prosperity

The Treasurer expressed confidence in the nation's economic trajectory, projecting growth from K111 billion in 2023 to an impressive K122 billion in 2024. 

Ling-Stuckey highlighted the remarkable non-resource growth, maintaining levels of:

• 5.2 percent in 2022, 
• 4.5 percent in 2023, and 
• 4.7 percent in 2024. 

This sustained growth, he noted, is historic, occurring for the second time in PNG's post-independence era.

Challenges and Acknowledgments

Ling-Stuckey acknowledged challenges, recognising that not everyone feels the benefits of the economic surge. He acknowledged struggling businesses, job scarcity, and the persistent cost-of-living pressures many families face. 

Despite these challenges, the Treasurer assured the public that the government remains focused on delivering essential services and addressing the needs of the community.

Conclusion:  PNG 2024 Budget 

As the live-streamed parliamentary session came to a close, the Treasurer's speech painted a comprehensive picture of the 2024 Budget, reflecting a commitment to fiscal responsibility, economic growth, and social well-being in Papua New Guinea.

Education Money: 

The allocation of K6.67 billion to both health and education in the 2024 budget is commendable, signalling a commitment to the well-being and education of the people. 

Importantly, it is crucial for the government to strengthen institutions like the Department of Education and the Department of Higher Education. Robust checks and balances, along with regular inspections, monitoring, and transparent reporting, are essential to ensure accountability and effective use of the allocated funds. 

While the significant increase is promising, a thorough system of oversight will help guarantee that the money is utilised efficiently for the benefit of the community.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am grateful for the opportunity to present the annual report of the Department of Education for the year 2022. I would like to express my appreciation to the honourable members of parliament for granting me leave to make this statement in connection with the reports.

Mr. Speaker, education holds a paramount place in our society, and it is with great honour that I present the 2022 annual report for the Department of Education to the National Parliament. Our department has consistently presented its annual report to this esteemed house, underscoring the significance of education for every citizen.

Before delving into the highlights of the report, I would like to extend, on behalf of the 2.3 million children and numerous parents, our sincere gratitude to the Marape-Rosso government. Despite the economic challenges facing our nation, the government has accorded the highest priority to education. I would also like to acknowledge the unwavering support of every governor and Member of Parliament in advancing the cause of education.

Mr. Speaker, education is the key that unlocks knowledge, talent, skills, and development, fostering prosperity for a nation. It is the common denominator, the foundation upon which societies and nations are built. Therefore, it is our duty to ensure that no child is left behind, irrespective of space, gender, religion, ethnicity, or disability. Every child has the right to education from elementary to grade 12, and we are obligated to provide that.

The Department's 2022 annual report, a comprehensive document spanning 122 pages, offers insights into the performances, achievements, and challenges encountered while implementing policies during the 2022 Academic Year. I urge every minister to peruse the report at their convenience.

In the interest of time, I will highlight six critical policies, achievements, and challenges outlined in the report:

• 1. Successful transition from the outcome-based curriculum to the standard-based curriculum (SBC), with the completion of the phasing-in of SBC into the education system in 2022. The development phase of the SBC syllabus and teacher guides for all subjects and grades is also complete.

• 2. Significant progress in the five-year strategic plan for education reform and expansion, with notable increases in enrollments, particularly in secondary schools.

• 3. Establishment of Schools of Excellence to cater to highly talented students, with a focus on STEM education. A total of 220 STEM students graduated in 2022.

• 4. Decentralisation of functions and activities to provincial governments, including education laws, payroll, and salary management.

• 5. Successful government tuition fee subsidy implementation, with a total disbursement of 792 million Kina in 2022.

• 6. Addressing infrastructure needs and responsibilities at various school levels, emphasising the need for clarity in roles and responsibilities.

In conclusion, I express gratitude to the Marape-Rosso government, members of parliament, governors, partners, stakeholders, and the dedicated team at the Department of Education. Your continued support ensures the success of the education sector. I look forward to ongoing collaboration in the academic year 2023. May God bless you all, and thank you for your attention to government business.

Final remarks:

In closing, the Minister's talk about the Department of Education's yearly report for 2022 highlights how important education is for our country to grow. The report talks about what went well, what challenges were faced, and the plans made to make sure every child gets a good education.

Building Wealth with Borrowed Money: Robert Kiyosaki's Financial Strategy

This article discusses how continuous financial learning can help people make smart financial decisions. It uses Robert Kiyosaki's guest appearance in the podcast (video embedded) to explain the importance of understanding global economics, how politics affects the economy, and how to adapt to changes in the BRICS alliance. Kiyosaki says that people should change the way they think about money, and compare it to 'toilet paper', but gold to god's money in the podcast. 

Read the summary and watch the video for inspiration.

Who is Robert Kiyosaki?

Robert Kiyosaki is a Japanese-American entrepreneur and businessman. He is the founder of Rich Global LLC and the Rich Dad Company, a private financial education company that provides personal finance and business education to people through books and videos. He is also the creator of the Cashflow board and software games to educate adults and children about business and financial concepts.

Kiyosaki is the author of more than 26 books, including the Rich Dad Poor Dad series, which has been translated into 51 languages and sold over 41 million copies worldwide. He is a controversial figure, with some critics questioning his credentials and business practices. However, he remains a popular and influential figure in the world of personal finance.

Introduction

Robert Kiyosaki is a well-known financial expert who has written a popular book called "Rich Dad Poor Dad." He recently gave a podcast where he talked about the economy, politics, and the importance of financial education. This article will summarise the main points of his podcast and help you make better financial decisions.

Key idea: 

Robert Kiyosaki's financial insights, as shared in the podcast, centre on the concept of utilising borrowed funds to acquire assets and generate income. The underlying theme emphasises the significance of financial education in making informed decisions and accumulating wealth through strategic borrowing.

The central message is that borrowing, when employed judiciously, can serve as a potent tool for building wealth and achieving financial success. Continuous financial education, which involves self-education through reading and associating with like-minded entrepreneurs, remains the cornerstone for unlocking the potential of leveraging borrowed capital for asset accumulation.

MUST WATCH

Robert Kiyosaki's Financial Strategy Books

Robert Kiyosaki has written many books about money and investing. Here are 5 of his most popular ones:

• Rich Dad Poor Dad: This book is about how to think about money like the rich do.
• Cashflow Quadrant: This book explains the four different ways that people make money.
• Rich Dad's Guide to Becoming Rich Without a Job: This book shows you how to create wealth outside of a traditional job.

1. The Power of Financial Education

Robert Kiyosaki's extensive military experience lends credence to his assertion that financial education is a powerful tool for empowerment. The phrase "that was very, very enlightening" aptly captures the transformative potential of knowledge in navigating financial challenges.

The podcast highlights the importance of continuous financial education. Kiyosaki's remarkable journey from military school to financial education advocate serves as a powerful reminder for individuals to invest in their financial literacy. 

2. The Global Chessboard: Navigating Economic Shifts

Robert Kiyosaki believes that the world is undergoing a major economic transformation and that individuals need to understand this in order to make wise financial decisions. He urges people to pay attention to the geopolitical shifts that are shaping the economy. 

Kiyosaki believes that understanding the battle for economic supremacy is essential for anyone who wants to protect and grow their wealth.

3. Economic Troubles, Military Actions, and the Printing Press

In the podcast, Robert Kiyosaki discusses the connection between economic problems, warfare, and money printing. He says that when the economy is bad, the yuan and the dollar will be in trouble, and this will lead to war. 

He also warns that governments may create conflict to distract people from economic problems. This shows that we need to be careful about our money when the economy is bad.

4. Lessons from the BRICS Alliance

The BRICS alliance, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has emerged as a significant force in the global economy. India, in particular, has attracted attention for its rapid economic growth and potential to become a major player on the world stage.

Kiyosaki's emphasis on India's strategic position highlights the country's importance in the BRICS alliance and its growing influence in the global economy. He encourages individuals to recognise India's potential as an investment destination and consider incorporating emerging markets into their portfolios.

5. Embracing Capitalism

Robert Kiyosaki repeatedly emphasises the importance of embracing capitalism in the podcast. He encourages individuals to break free from conventional thinking that may impede financial growth. This call for a paradigm shift is not just a theoretical exercise; it is a practical strategy for achieving wealth.

Kiyosaki's message goes beyond simply endorsing an economic system; it advocates for a capitalist mindset. This mindset encourages taking risks, thinking strategically, and fostering an entrepreneurial spirit.

Embracing capitalism is not just about supporting an economic system; it is about adopting a mindset that promotes financial growth. Kiyosaki's message challenges individuals to break free from traditional thinking that may hinder their financial success. The podcast encourages listeners to reassess their financial philosophies and explore avenues that align with the principles of capitalism.

Conclusion

Robert Kiyosaki advocates for using borrowed money to acquire assets and generate income, emphasising the importance of financial education in making sound borrowing decisions. He believes that continuous financial education, through self-education and networking with like-minded entrepreneurs, is crucial for unlocking the potential of leveraging borrowed capital to build wealth.

While Kiyosaki's financial strategy is not a universal approach, it offers valuable insights for those considering using debt to invest. Carefully evaluating one's financial situation and goals is essential before employing borrowed money.

Grade 11 & DHERST Selections Impacts on Results Release Dates

The release dates for Grade 10 and Grade 12 exam results have important implications for the selection process. MSD must meet the deadline set by its sister division, General Education Services, and Higher Education Department, DHERST.

Therefore, the exam results must be released before the selections begin. Any delay in the release of the exam results will have ripple effects and cause delays in the release of the Grade 11 selection lists and DHERST Grade 12 Selection like it did for Grade 11 last year.

PNG Correctional Service (CIS) Recruitment 2024 Update

The selection process has been successfully concluded in the latest development regarding the Correctional Services (CS) recruitment drive for the year 2024. The next phase involves screening chosen candidates, which will commence once the CS identifies a suitable human resource firm to assist with the vetting.

You can also see the 2024 notice of application for PNG Fire Service here.

In September 2023, the CS Commissioner, Stephen Pokanis, provided an update in response to public inquiries regarding the progress of the 2023/2024 recruitment initiative. 

Commissioner Pokanis stated,

"Selections for CS recruits are complete. I am reaching out to suitable private human resource firms that the CS can engage to finalize the selection of qualified candidates."

100 Candidates out of 5000 Applicants Considered

The Commissioner anticipates completing this exercise within the current month, with training scheduled to commence in November 2023 and into 2024. Out of 5,000 applications, 400 candidates have been selected. However, the CS will only be recruiting 100 candidates. This strategic decision is aimed at cost-cutting and effective fund management for recruitment training.

For this recruitment cycle, a budget of K2 million kina has been allocated. This funding covers various aspects such as training expenses, uniforms, training materials, allowances, movement after training to institutions, and the 12-month probationary period (On-Workplace Assessments).

Extensive 5-month Training Program

Prospective CS recruits will undergo an extensive 5-month training program, followed by a 12-month probationary period before certification as warders. Throughout this period, recruits will be subject to assessments determining the extension of probation or termination. 

The meticulous approach ensures the selection and preparation of competent individuals for the responsibilities associated with the Correctional Services.

Delay in CIS Recruitment Selection List and Training for 2024

As of the latest update (Check Here), the Correctional Service (CIS) recruitment selection list for training in 2024 has not been released. A recent statement from the CIS authorities reveals that the training process has been temporarily put on hold. The primary reason cited for this delay is a lack of funding.

The CIS acknowledges the importance of ensuring adequate resources for the training of selected candidates, and the decision to postpone the training reflects a commitment to maintaining the quality and effectiveness of the program. The CIS is actively working to secure the necessary funding to resume the training process promptly.

Applicants and stakeholders are advised to stay tuned for further announcements regarding the release of the recruitment selection list and the resumption of training activities for the 2024 intake. The CIS remains dedicated to transparency and efficiency in its recruitment and training processes, intending to foster a capable and skilled workforce for the Correctional Service.

Google AdSense Announces Two Key Changes for 2024

Google AdSense, a platform designed to help publishers monetize their websites, is set to undergo significant changes in 2024. These changes, announced by Dan Taylor, Vice President of Global Ads, aim to enhance consistency and transparency for publishers without negatively impacting their earnings.

Per-Impression Payments

The first major change involves shifting from the current "per click" payment model to "per impression." Dan Taylor emphasized that this transition aligns AdSense with the industry standard for display ads, including banners and boxes. 

Per-impression payments offer a more uniform method for compensating publishers, making it easier for them to compare earnings across various technology providers, including Google's products and third-party platforms. 

Importantly, this alteration will not affect the type or quantity of ads publishers can display on their websites. In essence, it's about how publishers are compensated for displaying ads, not what ads they can display.

Restructuring AdSense Revenue Share

The second key change involves restructuring the AdSense revenue share model. Until now, fees were processed as a single transaction, but Google is introducing a separation of rates for the buy-side and sell-side. 

Under the new structure, publishers who display ads with AdSense for content will receive 80% of the revenue after the advertiser platform deducts its fee. This includes Google's buy-side and third-party platforms. 

Despite this change, Dan Taylor assured publishers that they will continue to keep approximately 68% of the revenue, which aligns with previous rates.

For example, when Google Ads purchases display ads on AdSense, Google Ads will, on average, retain 15% of the advertiser spend. It's worth noting that variations can occur because Google Ads' fees are not fixed; they depend on user actions, such as clicks or conversions.

AdSense Changes for 2024

These two pivotal changes are scheduled to be implemented in the early part of 2024. The good news for publishers is that they don't need to take any specific action in response to these updates.

Also, Google has conducted tests and expects that the changes will not significantly impact publishers' earnings.

Enhance Consistency and Transparency for Publishers

In conclusion, the AdSense changes for 2024, as outlined by Dan Taylor, are designed to provide publishers with a more consistent and transparent monetization experience, all while maintaining their earnings. 

The shift to per-impression payments and the restructuring of the revenue share structure are set to enhance the AdSense platform's user experience without affecting the type or quantity of ads publishers can showcase.
