The Ministry of Communications team, led by Acting Prime Minister and Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum travelled through rural Cakaudrove to connect another three schools to the national internet network on Tuesday.
These schools were Dawara District School, St Paul Primary School, and Wailevu East Primary School.
All three schools now have internet access for the first time.

“There’s plenty we could say about the benefits of this new internet access,” said Dawara District School manager and parent, Akesa Kuruwale.
“We would have to travel to town to access the internet for my children’s research materials and get the relevant learning materials.
“These were the small sacrifices that we made for our children to enhance their knowledge. However, now with the connectivity, we can access information anywhere at home or even in school.
“I would like to thank the Ministry of Communications and other relevant stakeholders for ensuring that such services are provided to Fijians, like us at Dawara, and we are grateful to be chosen as one of the schools to access reliable and efficient internet services.”
