While the review of the Education Act 1966 is currently underway, the Ministry is also calling on relevant stakeholders such as the Fijian Teachers Association and Fiji Teachers Union to contribute their ideas and suggestions.

Minister Aseri Radrodro highlights the need for a collective approach by teachers to impart knowledge, mentor students, and instill values that go beyond textbooks.
