Due to flooding in several parts of Fiji and further flooding expected in the next few days, the Ministry of Education has confirmed that all schools are closed until further notice.

Permanent Secretary Doctor Anjeela Jokhan says they will review the situation on a daily basis and will make an appropriate announcement on the resumption of schools.

She says all boarding students are to remain in school under the supervision of the heads of schools.

Jokhan adds students are requested to continue their revision.

Years 12 and 13 revision lessons prepared by the Ministry will be replayed on the Walesi Education Channel.

She adds teachers who are unable to travel to school due to flooding can work from home.

Jokhan stresses all other teachers are to report to school.
