The Fijian Teachers Association has requested for the two public holidays scrapped off Fiji's annual calendar to be reinstated.

The Association in their 34 page submission requested the constitution commission to look into the Ratu Sukuna Day celebration being brought back and being declared as national cultural day.

Also FTA has requested for the Queens Birthday holiday to be reinstated in recognition of the role of the British Government in the development of Fiji.

Associations President, Mere Moci said that they also want the culture of illegally taking over of any elected government to stop altogether and perpetrators to face consequences of their actions.
