Dear Editor – Before and for a few years after independence HTI {Honiara Technical Institute [Kukum Campus]}, Penatena Teachers training college, TS Ranandi marine training school and KG6 secondary school as well as a few other schools were so well regarded restrictions were put on the number of overseas students allowed to attend to ensure our Solomon Island students were not excluded.
What has gone wrong since then? HTI was self sufficient in much of its own food, TS Ranandi was run like a ship with uniform parades and dormitory inspections every morning.
The food was good and healthy, no tinned fish and boiled rice.
