Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says the governments work in education is far bigger than politics.

With a lot of comments coming from politicians regarding the education system, Bainimarama says this is nothing compared to what they have done.

Bainimarama says governments focus on education is about raising a new generation of talented, ambitious and motivated young people who will carry this nation to even greater heights in the years ahead.

“My fellow Fijians, the future of our nation will be defined by our work to expand access to high quality education. As your Prime Minister, there is nothing that brings me more pride than what we’ve achieved in widening the reach of the Fijian education system and levelling the academic playing field for young Fijians. Because it is you, our young people, who are the future of Fiji.”

Bainimarama says they have taken the burden off of parents by making education free for the first time in Fijian history.
