All Schools Nationwide Remain Closed Until Further Notice

The Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts wishes to advise students, parents and teachers that all schools nationwide will remain closed following discussions with the Ministry of Health and Medical Services.

The Ministry urges all parents to keep their children safe at home and restrict any unnecessary movements as there are still COVID-19 active cases. Many schools across the globe continue to remain closed as a precautionary and safety measure.

While all schools nationwide will remain closed until further notice, the Ministry will continue to make available a number of supplementary learning resources to keep our children engaged in their learning environment. Worksheets will continue to be made available on the Ministry’s website and the LearningHUB, educational video programmes will continue to be aired on Walesi’s Education Channel 9 and radio lessons will continue to be broadcasted on FBC Radio Fiji 1 and Radio Fiji 2 on weekdays.

All parents need to ensure that children continue to practise safe hygiene and remain at home for their own safety and well-being. Further announcements will be made by the Ministry in due course.
