Villagers of Saolo, Nakawakawa and Nabunikadamu in Wainunu, Bua will benefit from the recent construction of an infant school.
The new school which has yet to opened but has been named Ratu Peni Neumi Memorial Infant School demonstrates government’s commitment to making education accessible to every Fijian including those in rural or isolated communities.
For 34 year old Jotivini Vatuloa, this is a positive development for the mother of four.
“I want to thank the government for hearing a plight in bringing education right to our door step”
Education Officer Nabouwalu Lima Fong said this initiative would reduces costs for students and families from nearby communities.
“The purpose of the school is to cater for students who are often forced to go to Ratu Luke Memorial School for boarding,” said Mr. Fong.
“These students often missed much support and attention of their parents as they attend as boarders”
The new school will be commissioned by the Minister for Education Filipe Bole later this week.
