Over 100 students who have dropped out from school have been assisted by the Ministry of Education in the Suva and Nausori District.
This was highlighted by the Minister for Education Dr. Mahendra Reddy at the No Child Left Behind Strategic Meeting at the Technical College of Fiji in Suva.
Reddy stressed that this is part of Government’s vision that ensures all students have access to quality education throughout the country despite individual circumstances.
The minister also highlighted that they may not have identified all children that may have dropped out of the system but they have begun here.
He has urged parents to contact the ministry in order to be assisted.
The Education Ministry with the assistance of donors had conducted a survey throughout Fiji to identify students that had dropped out.
Meanwhile a 14-year-old recipient Miriama Nabalarua has acknowledged the government’s assistance that has enabled her to return to school after a year.
These students were also given their enrolment letters that has confirmed their enrolment in the schools of their choice together with their stationary and school bags.
