The Fijian Government is committed towards educating the younger generation which will determine the future of our country.

Attorney-General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says Fijian youth have the right to improve their life and the tool that is being provided to them is access to education.

“If you have a material thing, assuming you buy a car, you have a car accident, your car can be written off. Your car is gone. You can have some item in your house, it can get burnt down and can get stolen, but once you are qualified, nobody can take away the qualification from you.”

Sayed-Khaiyum says fifty percent of Fiji’s population is below the age of 27, and they need to take advantage of education schemes being made available to them.
