The Fiji Higher Education Commission signed a Memorandum of Understanding for Cooperation with two established New Zealand institutions: Ako Aotearoa and the Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi.
The parties entered into an MOU with a view of exploring opportunities to establish and promote collaborative activities that will enhance their mutual education goals.
The Ako Aotearoa, New Zealand National Centre for Tertiary Teaching Excellence, is an organization that assists educators and organisations to enable the best possible outcomes for all learners.
The FHEC will work with Ako Aotearoa to access technical assistance on the development of a competency framework for teaching staff, leadership and governance, and a programme of professional development.
Te Whare o Awanuiarangi will assist by defining opportunities that are appropriate for the needs of the different cultural communities and also look at other related appropriate policy interventions.
