The Fiji Police Force is currently conducting an investigation into an incident that reportedly took place at Queen Victoria School. Allegations suggest that a senior student was struck by a vehicle on the school’s grounds. The vehicle was reportedly being operated by a teacher who was in the process of learning to drive, with another teacher seated in the passenger seat providing guidance.
The impact of the incident has been serious, with reports indicating that the student sustained severe head injuries and required hospitalization. In light of the event, Education Minister Aseri Radrodro has referred inquiries to his Permanent Secretary. However, recent photographs shared on social media depict Mr. Radrodro visiting the injured student in the hospital, indicating his concern and support.
This unfortunate occurrence underscores the necessity for ongoing training and safety protocols in educational environments, particularly when it involves novice drivers. As the investigation unfolds, it is hoped that measures will be implemented to ensure the safety of students and staff alike at the school and across the education system in Fiji.
