A circular has been sent to all four divisional offices and heads of schools reminding them of no school levies and enrolment fees on students.

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka said they were committed to ensuring no student was left behind.

“Our support extends to various initiatives, including the free education grant (Year 1-13), transport assistance for families whose combined household income is $16,000 or less, and the $200 back-to-school support which will be paid out before school resumes in 2025.”

Mr Rabuka said they were committed to investing in children’s education to ensure they had the tools they needed to succeed.

“The Ministry of Education continues to support access to inclusive education,” he said.

Mr Rabuka urged everyone to continue to work together in supporting holistic education for the future of the vanua of Lekutu.

“Our collective commitment to education will not only benefit Lekutu but the yasana o Bua and our beloved Fiji.

The Prime Minister said education should remain everyone’s priority.
