The daily struggle to put food on the table is an issue that has students of Ratu Kadavulevu worried, because it has led to their peers resorting to any means to earn money to provide for their families.

Familiar faces to Tadra Kahani RKS, have adopted the theme "Desperado" which tells of a family's survival through hard times, and features Articles of the Convention of Rights of the Child covering the right to survival and development, a decent standard of living, education, child labour and sexual exploitation.

School teacher Master Uraia Toribau said the theme was chosen by the students because they felt that people are getting desperate during these trying times and they know that this can lead to people doing desperate things.

Toribau said students would often discuss the issue of seeing their peers drop out of school to provide for their families which is an all too common occurrence, resulting in students being deprived of completing their education.

Toribau said this is an issue that students easily pick up when they come into towns during their leave from school.
