The Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development, MEHRD, Education Authorities and UNICEF have agreed on immediate priorities in response to the recent flooding in Honiara and Guadalcanal.
At the Taskforce for Education in Emergency Situation, TEES, meeting yesterday, it was reported, the damage to schools are painting a picture of a very serious situation that will take a good planning and a considerable amount of money to repair our schools.
The Government Communication Unit quotes the Education Ministry Permanent Secretary, Dr Franco Rodie, as saying “the priority is to make sure the drinking water and sanitation needs of evacuees in schools acting as Designated Evacuation Centres are being taken care of”.
