The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption is reminding schools that strict legal actions will be taken including criminal investigations against those who abuse school funds.
FICAC has confirmed receiving complaints from the Ministry of Education and from communities during FICAC’s Awareness sessions especially from parents and teachers.
FICAC's Education and Awareness officers continue to visit schools to advocate on the risks associated with school grants and provide preventative recommendations for the proper utilization of these grants.
Meanwhile the Minister for Education had earlier highlighted last year that 35 schools have been investigated regarding the misuse of the school grants.
