THE students and teachers of one of Fiji's model primary schools have
been promised better infrastructure by Minister for Works Savenaca
Draunidalo.
During a visit to the Sathya Sai School in the cane belt area of
Johnson in Drasa, about 15 kilometres from Lautoka, Mr Draunidalo said
he would personally ensure that plans were made to tarseal the road
leading to the institution so that its principles would reach more
people in the community.
Mr Draunidalo said his commitment towards the development of the
area's infrastructure was cemented after learning of the principles
behind the school's development.
Sathya Sai School, which currently has a school roll of 136 students,
was established in 2000 by the Sathya Sai Service Organisation of
Fiji, to provide neighbouring poor communities with kindergarten and
class one facilities.
Since then, the school has grown to include all levels till class six,
with construction underway to cater for classes seven and eight next
year.
Apart from teaching the lessons under the Ministry of Education's
curriculum, teachers incorporate human values into the daily school
program.
Director Ambika Prasad said the school was established as part of
Sathya Sai Baba's vision to change the way education was imparted to
students.
Mr Prasad said by teaching students the basic human values of truth,
right conduct, peace, love and non-violence, teachers hoped they would
be able to help address Fiji's current social problems.
