The Solomon Islands government is assuring its students at the University of the South Pacific that it's doing everything it possibly can to settle its outstanding accounts.
The students at campuses in Fiji, Vanuatu and Samoa fear they may have to pull out of their courses unless more than three million US dollars in course fees are paid.
However the Government has told the students not to worry.
The Education Minister, Mathias Taro, says the Government will shortly send more than six hundred thousand dollars to the University in partial payment of the debt.
The Government is also to ask Papua New Guinea whether its aid to Solomon Islands can be used to settle arrears at the University of PNG.
