The people of Sawanikula Village in the Tikina of Muaira in the highlands of Naitaisiri intend to build a new secondary school.
This was discussed by the villagers during a meeting with Education Minister Aseri Radrodro.
The villagers intend to establish the school as early as 2026 with the rollout of Years 9 and 10, as there are available resources to at least make a start, which was also supported by the Minister.
Radrodro emphasised that the Coalition Government’s initiative in establishing a Secondary School is to assist communities in nurturing their children and students within the vicinity of their existing communities.
