Senior Education officers will meet with head of schools from the western division to ensure that programs put in place will assist in the full coverage of school work for this term.

Divisional Education Officer western Lorima Voravora told FBC News – talks will also surround the re-adjustment of school timetables.

“We have to sit down with all the schools and see how best we can address the issue but this will come later on. In the meantime we will need a lot of consultation and it has already started. By mid this week we should be able to come up with the system whereby we will be able to cover all work come the end of term two.”

Permanent Secretary for Education Dr Bij Lal will have the final say on whether schools are to use their holiday period to make up for lost time.
