New Education Facilities in Fiji

PLANS have been made for the estab lishment of a new Government Teachers’ Training College at the former Queen Victoria School site at Nasinu, near Suva, Fiji.

The site was used during the war for a military hospital, and use is to be made of some of the hospital buildings, to gether with the original Queen Victoria School buildings, in setting up the new College. Accomodation will be provided for 180 students, but provision has been made for expansion later to take 240.

Before the war, the Government Teachers’ Training College was at Nata bua, near Lautoka. In 1940, the College was taken over as a military camp, and the school moved to the Methodist Training Institute at Davuilevu.

Queen Victoria School is still in a temporary home at Nanukuloa, but it is proposed to re-establish it about ten miles from Lodoni.
