362 students of Holy Family Primary School in Labasa will now benefit from four newly built classrooms.
Head Teacher Elia Waqerau says there was a shortage of classrooms and students were using the computer lab and library for their classes.
The construction of the four classrooms was fully funded by the Prime Minister’s Office.
While opening the new classroom block, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said that education plays a pivotal role in the build up and make up of the new Fiji where location does not determine the opportunity a Fijian can access or the success they find in life.
Meanwhile Bainimarama also opened Bainikea Infant School in Bua yesterday and it will benefit more than 100 students in the area.
He says the government will continue to build infant schools in villages and interior communities to ensure that parents do not worry about sending their children to boarding schools.
Bainimarama says they are building these infant schools because the children are not at the right age to be sent to boarding schools as they are very young.
