The Head of School who sent a confidential email stating the name of one of Fiji’s latest COVID-19 patients has been suspended from duties until further notice.

This has been confirmed by Education Minister Rosy Akbar who says she is disappointed towards the way the Head of School handled the COVID-19 reporting and communication protocol.

She says it is rather unfortunate that the details of the student had been released and is now circulating on social media.

Akbar is asking all school heads and teachers to exercise confidentiality when dealing with issues related to Child Safety and Protection.
