One of Suva's biggest primary schools will be putting together a proposal to government and stakeholders in the hope of finding an easier way to distribute student's fares by the end of the week.

Speaking to Fijivillage, Veiuto Primary School Head Teacher Master Apisalome Colanailagovesi said they have a school roll of 900 students out of which roughly over 450 students qualify for the program and today they will be giving out the fares to students, which he said will be a major task.

Colanailagovesi said they received their cheque of $4,000 today, out of which they now have to work out the individual fares depending on where the student is travelling from, adding that they are fortunate to have a full time administrator to work out the fares, adding however, the case may not be the same in other schools, and he knows that some teachers will find it difficult to cope.

Colanailagovesi hopes government will be open to any suggestion that schools will have that will make the distribution of fares to students less time consuming.

Almost 80,000 students around the country who travel by bus to school received their fares under the government's bus fare assistance program which begun this morning.
