Free lunch

- Kirti Patel, Lautoka

It is true that our Government has done so much for the students’ with nonpayment of fees being the major factor. Even before this pandemic, some people were complainin­g about sending their kids to school because of some minor issues. Yes, spoon-feeding is not so good.

We are very thankful to various religious and other organisati­ons, which have stepped in to help with free lunches for some students who apparently cannot go to school with proper lunches.

However, what if they were home, would they still be without lunch? The point is what if the Government was not providing all that it is giving now?

Why complain for little things like school sandals, bags and stationery? We cannot rely on Government for every little thing for school. Remember there was a time when we paid for our own school fees including every little necessity for school.

We all know that time is hard but some are just in the habit of asking or taking advantage of the situation.
