Education Minister Dr Mahendra Reddy says 100 percent level of commitment and passionate involvement from some of their teachers is still missing which has impact on teacher delivery.
Speaking at the opening of the Education Forum 2017 in Nadi this morning, Reddy says this is best indicated by the percentage of teachers who are absent from school and those who report to school late.
It was highlighted in the forum that 5.75 percent of secondary teachers were absent from school in the first two months of this year while 2.75 percent of secondary teachers reported late to school.
6.25 percent of primary teachers were absent from school in January this year while 2.25 percent primary teachers were absent in February.
3.5 percent primary teachers reported late to school in January this year while 2.25 percent primary teachers reported late to school in February.
Dr Reddy says the Education Ministry looks forward to adopting measures over the next four years to enhance teachers job satisfaction as it will contribute positively towards effective delivery.
