Tonga's first Media and Journalism Diploma graduates from the Tonga Institute of Higher Education received their diplomas on December 3 at the Queen Salote Memorial Hall after completing three years of part-time study while working in media organisations in Tonga.

HRH Princess Pilolevu Tuita, the guest of honour at a combined awards ceremony for the Ministry of Education's Tonga Institute of Higher Education (TIHE) programmes, presented the awards.

TIHE offers a range of certificate and diploma courses, and in this year's awards ceremony there were certificates and diplomas for the Information Technology Programme, the Accounting Programme, and the Media and Journalism Programme; as well as a certificate in Early Childhood Education; and a Diploma in Education Programme.
