An emergency and disaster awareness curriculum is being prepared by the Ministry of Education and will be implemented this year.
Acting Minister for Education, Viliame Naupoto revealed this today with schools in the Yasawa Group being the first to try it.
"This is the first time that the emergency curriculum will be implemented and schools such as Bukama Village School in the Yasawas will be one of the first to use it," he said.
The curriculum has been a result of natural disasters which have become a norm now for the country.
The curriculum has been developed over the years and Minister Naupoto said that it would be helpful during times of natural disasters.
