The Education Ministry has raised concern on the fatal road accidents that has claimed the lives of a teacher and a class one student earlier this week.

Education Minister, Filipe Bole said road safety is important and has urged drivers and road users to keep a close watch on students as they are vulnerable to all kinds of accidents which could prove fatal.

A 42 year old teacher lost his life last week Wednesday in an accident at Edinburgh Drive while a class one student was hit by a vehicle in Ra while getting off the bus and trying to cross the road to school.
