Teachers

Fangufangu Mana Jr Lātū and Sōsefo Kalangalupe Lōloa were passengers in a car that collided with a van on Tafa’ahau main road on Saturday night.

Latu and Loloa were returning from a barbecue party at Lapaha.

Loloa’s wife Tu’itamala Lōloa confirmed to Kaniva News last night that she was driving the car at the time of the accident.

Latu and Loloa are being remembered for their friendship since they were at Tonga High School.

Loloa was teaching at Talafo’ou Government School while Latu held a Teaching Assistant post at the university.

Twenty two positions are currently being advertised including five jobs for principals and eight jobs at the main secondary school Tereora College.

There are also seven other vacancies at primary and secondary schools in the country.

A Director of Human Resources with the government Terry Utaga says an example of the problem is the field of accounting where potential applicants for an accounting teacher job prefer to stick to higher paying jobs outside teaching.
