THE FULL OF HOPE ASSOCIATION HAVE ASSISTED A TOTAL OF 30 UNPRIVILEGED PUPILS FOR ENTRY TO THE SOLOMON ISLANDS NATIONAL UNIVERSITY (SINU) FOR NEXT YEAR 2016. THE FULL HOPE ASSOCIATION CONDUCTED COUNSELING FOR THE STUDENTS, AND HAVE ADVISED THEM TO SEEK FURTHER EDUCATION AS THERE ARE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO DO. MOST OF THE STUDENTS INTERVIEWED WERE STUDENTS WHO ARE SECONDARY SCHOOL DROPOUT WHO ARE UNABLE TO COMPLETE THEIR SECONDARY EDUCATION DUE TO FACTORS SUCH AS FINANCIAL PROBLEMS, FAMILY PROBLEMS AND HEALTH PROBLEMS AND DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE BRIDGED TO THE TERTIARY LEVEL. MOST OF THEM HAVE GOOD GRADES AND HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER EDUCATION BUT LACKS PROPER ADVISE ON THE AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES.
