Fijian pre-school ordered to close

New Zealand's only community owned Fijian pre-school has been ordered to shut down. The Ministry of Education says the Viti Centre has had a trail of serious financial problems, but parents and teachers are determined to fight the closure. "The Centre needs to open and stay open for the children," says Amalaini Ligalevu, the Centre's Licencee. That is unlikely to happen as the Auckland childhood centre has had its licence cancelled after being put into liquidation owing a quarter of a million dollars to Inland Revenue. The Ministry says there has been a raft of different problems and compaints against the Centre.
