Children obtaining e-transport cards

Parents of children who will be attending Year One from Monday are being urged to obtain the yellow e-transport cards for the time being.

Education Ministry Transport Officer, Iva Driu says these Year One students will get their subsidised blue e-transport cards later and in the meantime the children can use the yellow cards.

Driu says with enrolment still continuing in some schools they do not have the exact numbers of students in the Fiji Education Management Information System who will be attending Year One.

She says once all the details are verified the children will be issued their blue e-transport cards.

“We request parents to get their children’s birth certificate and take it to any Vodafone outlet in order to get the yellow card. Students can use that card to get half fare while waiting for their blue card.”

Parents are advised to ensure they do their part in ensuring their children report to school on Monday.
