The new commission is chaired by Rokobua Naiyaga and includes commissioners Ro Alumeci Tuisawau, Romulo Nayacalevu, Emi Emmanuel, Indra Devi and Inoke Momoedonu.
Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro while officiating at the ceremony, congratulated the commissioners on their appointments, acknowledging their commitment to advancing Fiji’s higher education sector.

He expressed confidence that the new commission will build on previous achievements and further improve the quality and standards of higher education in Fiji.

The Education Minister further highlighted the importance of improving graduate employment outcomes and addressing national skills shortages, noting that the commission plays a key role in ensuring Fiji’s education and training systems produce graduates equipped to meet the country’s future workforce needs.
