Minister for Education, Rosy Akbar says the reason for the protest at Ratu Kadavulevu School yesterday by some students was due to an issue with the new Assistant Principal and the matter has been resolved.
Akbar says the student bodies had raised their concerns with the Ministry.
She adds while they do not condone students staging protests, the Ministry is ready to listen.
Akbar says she will receive a full report from her team on Monday. She has urged the students to follow the normal communication channels if they have grievances.
Meanwhile, Police officers were deployed to Ratu Kadavulevu School after Korovou Police received a call from the Vice Principal to report that some students had staged a protest against the school heads.
Spokesperson, Ana Naisoro says Police were there just to oversee that nothing got out of hand and by the evening, things had returned to normal.
