The Fiji Teachers Union hopes that the Education Ministry implements the Tri Lingual Language Policy with all the resources.
General Secretary Agni Deo Singh said they had always wanted all the consecutive governments to make the teaching of the two major vernacular's compulsory in school adding that learning one's language helps in understanding one's ways of life and brings people together.
Singh added that there were attempts made by previous governments to implement this program without proper resources.
Meanwhile, Fijian Teachers Association's General Secretary Maika Namudu said the Tri Lingual Language Policy will never bring about any changes and they still maintain that the Fijian language should be made compulsory for Fijians in all schools.
Interim Education Minister, Filipe Bole yesterday briefed cabinet on the implementation progress adding 256 schools in the Central Division are trialing the conversational Fijian and Hindi vernacular program.
Bole believes that the tri lingual policy will be for peaceful, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural living in Fiji. The beneficiaries of this program are those students who cannot speak Fijian or Hindi.
