Minister for Education, Rosy Akbar recently handed over vouchers for uniforms and shoes to 93 students of Lekutu Secondary School in Bua, Vanua Levu as her Ministry continued to provide assistance to ensure that students are well supported to continue classes despite hurdles from recent disasters.
Ms Akbar said “There are many generous organisations and people who are still willing to come on board to assist students, and the Ministry will ensure that the assistance is well channelled so that it reaches the genuine recipients.”
She said this assistance should boost the morale of Lekutu students and bring a sigh of relief to parents who are struggling to provide for their families after being severely affected by TC Yasa.
“The Ministry urges parents to ensure that children come to school daily.
“Parents are to address any issues that they have with the school heads so the Ministry can assist.”
Ms Akbar thanked Lekutu Secondary School students for their perseverance in the face of adversity and she wished them all the best for the 2021 school year.
