Education to work with HECF in reviewing learning gaps and labour market needs - Kuruleca

The Ministry of Education is working closely with the Higher Education Commission Fiji to review some of their educational structures after noticing that there are learning gaps in our educational curriculum and will also review the gap in what the labour market needs.

This was highlighted by the Permanent Secretary for Education, Selina Kuruleca after the opening of the Higher Education Commission Careers Expo that is held at the Vodafone Arena from today.

The Permanent Secretary says they are sitting down with the Higher Education Commission through the accreditation processes, talking with all the national institutions and just seeing how they are producing and what else is needed.

She says there has been some mismatch in their curriculum, but they are working on getting a solution to close the gap.

Kuruleca says through the careers expo, they are also giving students private opportunities to choose from.

Meanwhile, hundreds of students from schools around the Suva-Nausori corridor arrived in numbers today at the Vodafone Arena to check out different programs offered by the institutions that are present at the Careers Expo.

There will be panel discussions for the next three days from 6pm to 7pm until the closing of the event which is Thursday.
