I hope we are able to work out a solution for the students – Akbar

Lekutu Secondary School feels the full brunt of TC Yasa

Lekutu Secondary School.

Minister for Education Rosy Akbar says there is a lot of work cut out for them and she hopes they are able to work out a solution for the students when they return to school for 2021.

Akbar says they will have talks with the Ministry of Economy, the National Disaster Management Office and other stakeholders to ensure they rebuild or rehabilitate schools that have suffered extensive damages or destruction by Tropical Cyclone Yasa.

She adds Lekutu Secondary School is one of the worst affected schools.

Akbar is currently in the Northern Division and says this will enable them to see the full extent of damages.

As of yesterday, the Ministry of Education reported that 28 schools in the North, Yasawa and Mamanuca suffered extensive damages due to TC Yasa.
