NEED TO CHANGE THE STAFF WORKING HERE. ESPECIALLY THOSE OF INDIAN-ORIGIN, SO RUDE WHEN WE CALL AND SO UNPROFESSIONAL. PLEASE REMOVE THEM!!! (OR THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE).

Can I have the email address of of a person in charge of the accommodation please?
I am really keen to apply for the loan scheme
Can anyone tell me where can I get the forms and when can I apply?
I had applied for this loan scheme last year as I enrolled into Fulton College and later my application was rejected just after I had completed my final exams for semester 1. I was told that this scheme was only given to those who had completed their education from 2011 to 2013. A different explanation was given to me during their road show here in Lautoka where I clearly explained to them that I had left school for ten years and that I want to pursue my studies given this opportunity. I was clearly told that there was no barrier to this scheme since the government of the day wanted everybody to get educated. I managed to complete semester 1 with Fulton College and couldn’t get into second semester due to the loan being rejected and that I couldn’t afford to pay privately. My question is:
1.Am I eligible to apply for a loan scheme this year and get started next semester with FULTON College?
2.If yes, are the forms available from the Ministry of Education here in Lautoka for the next semester(beginning end of July)?
I am really keen to go back to school but financial problems are holding me back and I beg if the government of the day could help me to get back to school this second semester.
