Marking another milestone in Fiji’s cooperation with our Pacific neighbors, nine retired teachers engaged under the Fiji Volunteer Scheme will leave our shores next month for Tuvalu for a two year volunteer teaching assignment.
Public Service Commission permanent secretary Parmesh Chand said all processes have been completed and the appointees would be given their travel documents and orientation today.
Of the nine teachers, eight will be teaching Literacy and Numeracy at primary school level and one teacher will be teaching secondary school level science.
The nine teachers will join the group of 27 other retired teachers who are sharing their knowledge and experience around the Pacific.
There are currently 12 volunteer teachers in the Republic of Marshall Islands, nine in Vanuatu and six teachers in Nauru.
