Students affected as the Ministry of Education delays bus card distribution

A Suva-based primary school has been affected as students are still waiting for their bus cards to be distributed, which was delayed by the Ministry of Education Office.

Earlier this year, the Permanent Secretary for Education Selina Kuruleca had stated that schools must check if their students have met the criteria and filled in the appropriate form.

When fijivillage News contacted the school they confirmed that all criteria for the bus cards had been met and cards have been given, but distributed in small batches.

The school says they have received some of the bus cards but are still waiting for the rest to be given.
