Save the Children Fiji says parents are concerned because COVID numbers have increased quite significantly in the last couple of weeks but they are emphasizing to parents that schools are as safe as they can be and teachers have been asked to provide awareness and education on COVID safe protocols.

CEO, Shairana Ali says parents are concerned that their children can get sick in schools but they are reiterating to them that they have been working closely with the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders such as UNICEF and the Ministry of Health.

She says they have been providing reassurance to concerned parents that schools are safe and this is based on evidence they have received from other parts of the world.

Ali further says they have distributed stationery to children and majority of the parents are excited to send their children back to school.

She add after consultations with the Ministry of Education, they are distributing school items to students from families impacted by COVID-19 in all divisions.

Schools remain closed for now until they receive clearance from the NDMO and Health Ministry.
