“We are also looking at the partnership and the generosity of Japanese government to assist us in the TC Harold rehab as well. We are talking, we are talking and hopefully, we are also able to get the assistance to rebuild our schools that were damaged in Kadavu.”

Akbar says education will only move forward if we have the right people as stakeholders.

“We believe that when we have the right buildings, the right infrastructure, the right people and partners in education, education will progress.”

The Fijian government built a new school dining hall and kindergarten.
