A prominent boarding school in Tailevu has raised serious concerns regarding the use of mobile phones by students to allegedly buy drugs.

Ratu Kadavulevu School vice-principal Mesake Tukana speaking on our sister station Viti FM said earlier this year, he confiscated mobile phones from students which contained illicit adult material and also alleged that some students have been found making calls to drug peddlers in the area.

Tukana said students have been reprimanded after they were allegedly caught at night making calls to drug pushers, who would make deliveries to students within the school compound.

He added this week parents of two students came to him, after their children were missing from home and school and it is a serious matter that parents should address.

Tukana added parents have been told that school rules do not allow students to have mobile phones, however, this has not been adhered to, resulting in the problems students are now facing.

He said they are doing their best to monitor the activities of the students and is urging parents not to allow children to carry mobiles to school.
