The new teachers’quarters at Soloira District School in Naitasiri will provide much-needed housing for educators, helping to attract and retain staff and improve learning conditions for students in the community.

While commissioning the facility, Minister for Education, Aseri Radrodro reminded teachers and school leaders of their responsibility to motivate students and guide them towards excellence.

He also emphasised the crucial role of parents in supporting their children’s education, encouraging them to stay engaged, monitor attendance, and serve as positive role models.
