Minister for Education, Premila Kumar says the Ministry is in the process of developing a 10-year Education Sector Plan funded by the Global Partnership for Education.

The Minister recently met with the World Bank to discuss the four-phase project that is expected to benefit secondary school education.

Kumar says this collaboration will allow them to map out how the support of different partners is going to complement the educational dreams of the nation.

This project with the World Bank is on Pacific Secondary Schools in four Pacific Island Countries including Fiji.

It is aimed at identifying and piloting interventions that can improve educational outcomes of secondary-aged youth in the Pacific.

Kumar also says that she is expecting the first phase of the project to unveil data that will provide clear directions for Teacher Training Institutions and the Ministry to help provide appropriate training for teachers.
