Adventists accuse Fiji Govt of underhand tactics

From , 3:02 pm on 17 April 2019

The Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Fiji has accused the government of dirty tactics over the church's decision to fully privatise one of its schools in the north of the country.

Most Fiji schools are faith based but are funded by the state.

The Education Ministry this week obtained a High Court order to prevent the church from taking over the school.
