Parents are been advised by the Fijian Teachers Association to start preparing for a new school term and ensure their children are able to start the new term on time.

FTA, President Tevita Koroi said that while we are enjoying the festive season we should not forget the future of our children when they will go back to school.

Koroi said past experiences show that some children do not start in time with the school term as they find difficulties in paying of their fees and buying their school stationery.
