We are working to have counsellors in school ASAP - Radrodro

Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro

After issues raised from the consultation on the review of the Education Act 1966 on the need for schools to have qualified counsellors, the Ministry is addressing this issue as more than 30 teachers have been trained counsellors.

While responding to questions from fijivillage News, Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro says they would like to attend to that ASAP in bringing counsellors into the schools, but qualified ones.

He says teachers have been facing challenges in terms of not only providing the learning capacity to the students but also doing more than just teaching.

Radrodro says this is something they would like to explore in the new budget, and hopefully, they will look into addressing those counselling needs in schools.
