All schools in the Lau Group are set to reopen today following consultations that took place between the Ministry of Education and the National Disaster Management Office. This decision comes after a thorough assessment of infrastructure damage caused by Tropical Cyclone Rae, which significantly affected roads, bridges, and access to educational institutions.
Minister for Education, Hon. Aseri Radrodro, confirmed the resumption of classes, expressing gratitude for the patience and resilience displayed by the Lau Group communities during the recent challenges. He encouraged parents to evaluate their local conditions before sending children back to school, emphasizing the importance of safety as the primary focus.
The Ministry of Education continues to monitor the situation actively, advising school heads to maintain close communication with their Management Committees and local authorities for any updates. This proactive strategy reflects the Ministry’s commitment to student safety, drawing parallels to past measures taken during severe weather disruptions.
The reopening of schools is a positive sign of recovery and stability in the Lau Group. As communities unite, there is hope that the resilience demonstrated during the cyclone’s aftermath will lead to a swift return to normalcy in education, benefiting both students and their families.
