With the safety and wellbeing of students, teachers, and school communities as the Ministry's highest priority, all schools throughout Fiji will be closed today, Tuesday 16 June. Tertiary institutions are encouraged to make their own decisions based on the situation.

The Education Minister said that this precautionary decision has been made to minimise unnecessary travel and reduce the risk to students, teachers, and families as weather conditions remain unpredictable. He strongly urges parents and guardians to keep children safely at home and not to attempt to cross flooded roads, bridges, creeks, or rivers, or travel through affected areas.

Heads of Schools are requested to remain in close communication with their School Management Committees and District Education Offices, continue monitoring local conditions, and report any weather-related impacts to school facilities through the appropriate channels.

The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the NDRMO, the Fiji Meteorological Service, and other relevant authorities, will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide timely updates as conditions evolve. Further advice on the reopening of schools will be issued when it is safe to do so.

Hon. Radrodro thanked parents, guardians, school leaders, teachers, students, and the wider public for their understanding, cooperation, and continued support, emphasizing that the the decision was made with the safety and the wellbeing of Fiji’s children and school communities as the highest priority.
