Permanent Secretary for Education, Selina Kuruleca has confirmed that all schools except those on the island of Rotuma will remain closed tomorrow, Thursday, 21 March.
Kuruleca said the National Disaster Management Office’s (NDMO) advice is that the torrential rain band will continue, thus, schools remain closed for another day.
She said this adverse weather has impacted public roads and transportation as rivers are expected to be flooded again and the risk of further landslips and landslides is also an area of grave concern.
Kuruleca emphasises the importance for all Heads of Schools to strategize on ways to make up for lost teaching and learning time once schools reopen.
“‘Parents and guardians must remain vigilant and ensure that children remain indoors, said the Permanent Secretary for Education.”
