Kumar emphasised the importance of the return on investment in education, something to ponder upon in particular in Fiji’s case where free education grant is provided to schools.

She says Fiji is not only committed to education through financing in the form of free education grants, but it has also implemented stringent measures to monitor finance utilisation for optimum results.
