As students from Years 8 to 13 return to face to face classes from tomorrow, Minister for Education Premila Kumar says parents who are not willing to send their children to school will have to make arrangements with the heads of schools or engage in homeschooling.

She highlighted this when questioned by fijivillage on how the Ministry can work with parents who are still unsure about sending their children to school, especially those children who are below the age of 12 and have not been vaccinated.

We also asked Kumar if the schools will be sending worksheets and other learning materials to these students to ensure their studies are not affected.

Kumar says these parents will have to liaise with schools.

Meanwhile, students from Early Childhood Education to Year 7 will start school next Monday.
