Education

The Fiji Teachers Union says the Education Ministry Permanent Secretary, Dr Anjeela Jokhan, should meet with the teacher unions and work in partnership for a way forward in addressing the short and long-term goals of the Ministry.

The Education Ministry expects dropouts when schools resume again.

External examinations for Year 13 students will be held from the 1st to the 11th of February, while exams for Year 12 will be from the 7th to the 17th.

The Ministry of Education is currently recruiting teachers for Early Childhood Education, Special and Inclusive Education, Primary and Secondary schools.

Fijians who have lost their jobs since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic will now be able to reskill themselves.

The growth of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training sector is crucial for the country, especially in helping revive Fiji’s economy.

Fijians can explore various reskilling opportunities at the Fiji National University after launching its Technical and Vocational Education and Training.

The Education Ministry is urging teachers not to fall for tricks used by politicians who are making it seem as if the Ministry is attacking the teachers.

The Ministry of Education is standing by its Minister’s comment that some teachers have poor literacy competency.

Practical lessons are important in becoming a good teacher says Minister of Education, Premila Kumar.

A revised Literacy and Numeracy curriculum for primary schools will be rolled out next year after the Education Ministry noticed a drop in student performance.

Education is key in getting people out of poverty and in securing a prosperous future for young Fijians.
