The $200 Back-to-School assistance program has provided much-needed relief to families like Kitione Qereqeretabua's.

After moving from Kadavu to Suva for better educational opportunities, Mr. Qereqeretabua plans to use the support to buy new uniforms and shoes for his four children.

"The assistance is very helpful for us, especially after we shifted from the village for our children’s better future," he said.

"We are renting in Suva, so this $200 is very helpful in supporting and buying all the things needed for our children’s school."

The $200 Back-to-School Support is a key initiative of the Coalition Government, aimed at helping families with children in Early Childhood Education (ECE), Primary, and Secondary schools.
