The Minister for Education, Hon. Aseri Radrodro, advises all parents, guardians, students, and school management that schools in the Western, Central, and Eastern Divisions will remain closed tomorrow Thursday 9th April while schools in the Northern Division will resume for classes.

This decision follows updated situational reports from all four divisions, in consultation with the National Disaster Risk Management Office (NDRMO), and reflects the ongoing impact of adverse weather conditions across parts of the country.

Current reports confirm 1,019 evacuees across affected areas, including 698 in the Western Division, 221 in the Central Division, and 100 in the Eastern Division. Several schools in these divisions continue to operate as evacuation centres, further limiting their readiness for normal school operations.

Flooded roads, unsafe crossings, and restricted access routes continue to pose significant risks. The Ministry emphasises that the safety and well-being of all students remains the top priority.

Students in the affected divisions are to remain at home under the supervision of parents and guardians. Parents are strongly urged to ensure that children do not attempt to cross flooded areas under any circumstances.

Subject to further assessments, schools in the Western, Central, and Eastern Divisions are expected to resume on Monday, pending official confirmation.

Tertiary institutions are encouraged to make independent decisions based on their own risk assessments. Academic arrangements and alternative online learning or work arrangements should be in place for the affected students and staff.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to support learning from home through school-provided platforms and resources.

The Ministry will continue to monitor developments and provide timely updates.

Hon. Radrodro extends his best wishes to all Fijians and visitors during this period.

Vinaka vakalevu and God bless.

PUBLIC ADVISORY – SCHOOL CLOSURE

The Ministry of Education wishes to inform all parents, guardians, students, and school management that all schools will remain closed tomorrow (Wednesday 8th April 2026) until further notice.

This decision follows situational reports received from all four divisions, in consultation with the National Disaster Risk Management Office (NDRMO), and the current severe weather conditions being experienced across the country, with the safety of our children remaining our top priority.

Over the past few days, many areas have already experienced significant flooding, with roads, crossings, and low-lying communities affected.

These conditions pose a serious risk to students, particularly those who must travel long distances or cross flooded creeks, rivers, and drains.

All students, including boarders, are to remain at home under the supervision of parents and guardians. Parents are strongly advised to ensure that children do not attempt to cross flooded areas under any circumstances.

Tertiary institutions are advised to make their own operational decisions based on their respective risk assessments.

We also urge all parents and guardians to boil all drinking water as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and well-being of their children.

All Heads of Schools (HoS) are to liaise with their respective Divisional Education Officers (DEOs) and provide regular updates on the status of their schools, including those currently being utilised as evacuation centres.

The situation will continue to be closely monitored, and further updates will be issued as necessary.

During this period, students are encouraged to utilise their time at home for revision and reading.

The Honourable Minister for Education extends best wishes to all Fijians and visitors for a safe week ahead.

Vinaka vakalevu and stay safe Fiji.

With the Fiji Meteorological Office escalating Tropical Depression Vaianu to be Cyclone category 2, and in the interest of public safety, the MOE in consultation with NDMO is advising that all schools are to remain closed tomorrow and tertiary institutions are urged to make the necessary call as deemed fit.

All students including boarders are to remain at home and the situation will be closely monitored with further advice to be issued accordingly .

The Minister for Education Hon Aseri Radrodro wishes all Fijians and visitors to Fiji a safe week ahead and is urging that parents and guardians closely monitor their children and ensure no one attempts to cross flooded creeks or rivers and drains.

And children are not to swim in rivers, creeks or the sea during this period likewise.

It is better to urge all children to read books or do school revisions during this period of natural disaster .

Meanwhile, all Heads of School are to liaise with the District Education Office and provide updates on the status of their respective schools, including those being used as evacuation centres.

Vinaka Vakalevu and Stay Safe Fiji

The Minister for Education, Honourable Aseri Radrodro, in collaboration with the National Disaster Risk Management Office (NDRMO) and relevant divisional authorities, wishes to inform all parents, guardians, and stakeholders that schools in the Western Division will remain closed due to continuous heavy rainfall, which has resulted in flooding in many areas across the division, including low-lying and flood-prone communities, unsafe road access, and rising river levels.

For the Eastern, Northern, and Central Divisions, schools will be open tomorrow, Tuesday 03rd March 2026. However, parents and guardians are advised that the final decision on whether to send their children to school rests at their discretion, particularly for those living in flood-prone or affected areas where access roads, crossings, or transport routes may still be unsafe. Parents and guardians are also reminded to ensure children do not attempt to cross flooded roads, creeks, or rivers, to avoid unnecessary travel in affected areas, to closely supervise children, and to continue monitoring official weather updates and advisories.

Heads of Schools are advised to remain in close communication with their Management Committees and District Education Offices and to assess school grounds and facilities before resuming normal operations.

The safety and welfare of students, teachers, and families remain our highest priority. The Ministry will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide further updates as necessary.
