The Minister for Education Honorable Aseri Radrodro has urged stronger commitment from school leaders to lift academic performance, increase student participation, and address pressing social issues such as drug use, bullying, and behavioral challenges.
The Minister raised these issued during his consultations with Heads of Government Schools on Friday, 30th August and Tuesday, 3rd September 2025 at Jai Narayan College.
