Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro has addressed growing health concerns raised by parents about the incineration of methamphetamine at the Dignified Crematorium in Davuilevu. Parents are increasingly worried about the potential health risks associated with the black smoke produced during these burning operations, particularly because several schools are located nearby.
In response, Mr. Radrodro encouraged parents to be vigilant regarding their children’s health while the incineration continues. Reports have emerged about students at local schools wearing face masks to protect themselves from smoke entering classrooms, raising significant concerns about their well-being.
When asked for his perspective, Mr. Radrodro mentioned that the police department has conducted assessments concerning the effects of drug incineration, finding no major health risks reported to date for students or faculty members. Nonetheless, he recognized the importance of ongoing dialogue between parents and educators, acknowledging that some students might still experience health issues linked to smoke exposure.
“To support the importance of regular school attendance, I urge parents to make informed decisions based on their children’s health,” he stated. He also encouraged teachers and students to take necessary precautions if health concerns emerge during school hours.
In light of these health issues, schools near the crematorium have recommended that parents provide their children with masks or handkerchiefs to mitigate the effects of smoke. This reflects a collective effort to prioritize student safety.
These proactive discussions and measures illustrate a community that is working together amid challenging circumstances to safeguard health. With continued vigilance and collaboration among parents, educators, and authorities, there is hope for a positive outcome that prioritizes the well-being of students.
