Labasa Arya Secondary School in the Northern Division will be one of the three pioneer Technical Colleges being introduced by the Ministry of Education in 2015.
The Minister for Education, Heritage and Arts Dr Mahendra Reddy during his visit to the school highlighted to parents and teachers that the college will only provide technical programs and short courses and it will be for free.
He said it was established to provide a pathway for students who wished to further their education in skilled works and any student can attend the college.
Dr Reddy explained to parents and teachers that they will decide what other programs to offer because there will be other technical colleges in Labasa later on, so they will not duplicate any courses.
He also said that there will be no restrictions to students who study there, the award program is open to students completing year ten in the North as long as there is space.
