Education Minister Rosy Akbar

Education Minister Rosy Akbar is urging Parents to disregard any unofficial comments or announcement regarding school re-opening.

This comes as there have been several posts circulating on social media concerning dates of when schools will re-open.

Akbar confirms that as announced earlier, all schools are scheduled to open on 21 June 2021.

She says due to the current situation, this date is, subject to change and will depend on clearance from the Ministry of Health.

Akbar says it’s unfortunate that some people are taking advantage of the current crisis and spreading false or misleading information.

She adds this will emotionally impact children who are already affected by the school closure.

Schools will re-open for face-to-face classes and classroom teaching when Fiji is once again COVID-contained.

The Ministry will continue to provide correct information to all teachers, students, and parents through the media.
