The Ministry of Education has yet to confirm whether procedure was followed by Suva Grammar Secondary in allowing the Marist 7s to be held at the school grounds on a normal school day.
Interim Minister for Education, Filipe Bole has confirmed the school should have sought permission from the Ministry before hiring out the ground.
Fijivillage News is seeking clarification why the school ground has been hired out on a school day for purposes which does not involve the school as a whole.
Education Ministry Media Unit said the Principal, Ilikimi Kunagogo had given the ground in good faith to the organizers, for the reason that the nation would benefit as a whole, since the final 12 member team to the Hong Kong and Adelaide 7s would be selected after the game.
The other issue we are also seeking clarification on is what the ministry can do on outsiders occupying a primary school ground without the school's approval.
Meanwhile, according to the Education Ministry, Kunagogo confirmed since a career expo is on at the school, children have been seen to be walking around.
