Truancy in Fijian schools is increasing, with concerns that drug-related activities are pulling students away from their education. Fiji Principals Association President Kamlesh Prasad says students are either using drugs or being involved in drug activities, which is becoming a major issue in schools. This not only affects learning but also puts students’ safety at risk.
To tackle this problem, Prasad emphasizes the need for cooperation between teachers, parents, and community organizations. He urges schools to educate parents and hold regular meetings to guide them in keeping their children safe from drugs. Working together, the community can help protect students and ensure they stay focused on their education.
