15-year-old Ameera Azraa Abdul has acknowledged Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama and his government for the free education initiative.

Abdul today began her high school education journey at Tilak High School in Lautoka.

The Year 9 student thanked the Prime Minister saying the free education scheme has made her parents’ lives easier.

Abdul stated that she will pray that Bainimarama will lead the nation until she achieves her tertiary education, as she would love to receive her awards through his hands.

She also wished for Bainimarama’s good health.

While sharing Abdul’s message on his Facebook page,  Bainimarama thanked Abdul, stating that her words are a reminder of why his government has supported all children, especially young girls, to climb as high as their ambition can carry them.

Abdul had further congratulated the Fiji 7s team for winning the Singapore 7s to which Bainimarama jokingly posted “I only hope she wasn’t up too late watching rugby!”.

Meanwhile, in his earlier message to all the students, Bainimarama reminded them to focus on their studies.

“This is a new school year, this is a new school year and we are getting off to a fresh start so remember three things. Be safe, be kind to each other, and do your best in all things. If you remember that, the school will be a joy for everyone.”

While delivering a message to parents, teachers, and students, Bainimarama stressed that the bullying behavior will not be tolerated in and outside the school premises.

Bainimarama has also urged parents to render their full support towards their children’s education.
