CAUGHT IN LIMBO. Principal of Bua Central College Master Raman Lal suddenly told after seven years at BCC that he is being transferred but Education Ministry yet to find him a school, so he is stranded in Labasa

*Raman Lal was ​stationed at Bua College with his family for the past seven years. 
*He was told last Wednesday that he is being transferred, only to be replaced with a teacher (Isimeli Tabua) from the Seqani. 
*Raman Lal has two children who are now running around to find school in Labasa.
*Labasa College did not take his child as they are full.
*Isn't there a policy whereby space is kept for teachers' children?

*His son, who is a bright student, didn't get the subject combination he wanted and is now studying at another school because of that. 
*Raman Lal, who was staying at the school quarters, has to get another set of uniforms for his children as a result of the late transfer notice. 
 *When he enquired with the Education Ministry, he was told to wait for a year or until a school is found for him.
*What a payback for a teacher who had contributed nearly half of his life teaching.
*There are also claims of racism because of his ethnicity.
*The Education Ministry in Labasa is clueless, claiming the transfer directive order came from Suva.
*Meanwhile, the Education Ministry has advised Raman Lal to come and sign in, and sign out, from the Labasa branch.
'Here we have a teacher who should be teaching, instead his talent is wasted as he is idle all day, sitting at the Labasa branch', a source told Fijileaks. Bua College is alma mater of the current President of Fiji.
