The Ministry of Education has extended school closure for another two weeks, with the anticipated school reopening date now set for Tuesday, 30 June 2020.

The Ministry says now that Fiji has zero active cases of COVID-19, it is important that the Education Ministry uses this time to continue its ongoing re-evaluation of how to reopen schools across the country in a manner suited to a post-COVID society, especially for those schools requiring rehabilitation due to Tropical Cyclone Harold.

Further updates on schools will be announced by the Prime Minister during the launch of the careFIJI app.

The Education Ministry says in the interim, students should continue to utilise the supplementary learning resources made available by the Ministry, including worksheets from schools, radio programming, and video lessons on the Walesi education channel.
