The “free school fees” privilege given to more than 600 students of the Ba Provincial Freebird Institute will continue for 50 years.

Chairman of the Ba Provincial Council Ratu Meli Saukuru reiterated that after an agreement signed by the Freebird Company in Japan 30 months ago, one requirement is for the students not to miss school.

He said the management of the school provides a report to the provincial council who monitors the attendance of the students.

Taukei Navo said the teachers also ensures that the students work hard and achieve high marks in their exams.
