The European Union has given over just over a million US dollars in development assistance in support of Fiji's rehabilitation efforts following the recent floods.
The development funding will assist 41 schools and over 15,000 primary and secondary school students in the country's worst affected flood areas.
The Ministry of Education, following a 10-day impact assessment of all schools in the flood affected areas, has identified 41 schools in need of immediate support.
These schools have suffered extensive damage to buildings, equipment, teaching and learning resources, textbooks and school crops.
Funds will be used to rehabilitate the schools and to restore them into working order as soon as possible.
