As Minister for Education, I remain committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all students, teachers, and families throughout Fiji.

Following consultations with the National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) and relevant authorities, schools will continue to operate as normal. However, I encourage parents and guardians to exercise their discretion where local weather conditions or travel routes may pose a risk to their children.

The safety of our students will always be our highest priority. I urge everyone to remain vigilant, avoid flooded roads, creeks, and rivers, and continue to monitor official weather updates and advisories.

I thank our school leaders, teachers, parents, and communities for their cooperation and commitment as we work together to provide a safe learning environment for every child.

Today, I had the opportunity to meet with Prime Health Founder Dr. Karam Singh and Operations Director Mr. Varinava Tiko at the Ministry of Education Headquarters to discuss the proposed Prime Health South Pacific project for Lautoka.

The proposal outlines the development of a modern tertiary hospital and integrated medical tourism precinct at Tavakubu Hill, aimed at enhancing access to specialised healthcare services for the people of Fiji and the wider Pacific region.

The project has the potential to strengthen our healthcare system, create employment opportunities, attract investment, and position Fiji as a regional hub for advanced medical services and medical tourism.

Discussions also covered the proposed regional referral model, supporting patients from neighbouring Pacific Island countries who require specialist treatment not readily available in their home countries.

I acknowledge the vision presented by Prime Health and welcome continued dialogue with relevant Government ministries and stakeholders as the proposal progresses through the consultation process.

Investments in health infrastructure are investments in our people, our future, and the sustainable development of our nation.

Today, I had the honour of officially opening the new $363,000 Multi-Purpose Hall at Suva Adventist Primary School in Lami.

This outstanding achievement reflects the dedication and commitment of the school management, the Seventh-day Adventist Church, parents, former students, teachers, and the wider community who worked together to make this project a reality.

The new hall will provide valuable opportunities for our 754 students through assemblies, examinations, sports, cultural activities, leadership programmes, and community events.

As Minister for Education, I remain committed to improving school facilities and ensuring every child has access to a safe and supportive learning environment. This project demonstrates what can be achieved when schools, parents, faith-based organisations, and communities work together for the benefit of our children.

Vinaka vakalevu to everyone who contributed to this important milestone.
