Some schools may use tents to hold their classes when school resumes.

Minister for National Disaster Management, Inia Seruiratu says with most of the schools badly damaged from Tropical Cyclone Winston, they may have to resort to tents to start classes.

The Ministry of Education has also been given two helicopters by the Australian and New Zealand governments to carry out an aerial damage assessment of affected schools in Lomaiviti and the coastal areas of Ra.

About 64 schools are badly damaged.

This number is expected to increase.
