FNU Chancellor Iqbal Jannif says the University is planning to double it’s expenditure on repairs and maintenance next year from $4 million to $8 million.
He says the actual expenditure for this year rose to $2 million from that of 2016.
Jannif says Fiji has a gross tertiary enrolment ratio of only 16% as revealed by UNESCO for the year 2005, however 12 years on, the figure now sits at 61% which almost double the world average which is 35%.
He says the increase ratio indicates that Higher Education in Fiji has travelled a huge milestone in the last decade.
