As Term One of the 2025 academic year begins today, the Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka highlighted that the most important thing that perhaps is lacking is discipline.

Rabuka say parenting discipline particularly discipline in the use of time is vital.

He says a lot of the results that are coming out indicate that people are not disciplining themselves and their children in the use of time for education.

The Prime Minister is hoping that parents will take advantage of the assistance they are receiving from the Government and also play their role in this collective responsibility in education for our children.

He has also extended his best wishes to all students and parents for a productive and successful term.
