Renovation For RKS To Be Completed Before School Starts

The Ministry of Education is adamant that renovation works for the Ratu Kadavulevu School dormitory will be completed before school resumes this year.

Permanent Secretary for Education Alison Burchell said the ministry was working closely with the school’s administration on its enrollment process to avoid overcrowding in the dormitories.

Ms Burchell said the renovation was briefly interrupted by Tropical Cyclone Sarai, but they hoped to complete the work by the 10th of this month.

“We are working with the head of school and its staff to ensure that upgrades are done and students to be accommodated on their return for this school year,” Ms Burchell said.

She has referred all questions on the timeframe of the reconstruction of the burnt Degei House to the Ministry of Economy.
