Selina Kuruleca has been reassigned as Permanent Secretary for Justice and will be effective from next Monday.

This has been confirmed by the Chairman of the Public Service Commission Luke Rokovada, who says Ratu Meli Nacuva will simultaneously assume the role of Acting Permanent Secretary for Education while holding the role of Permanent Secretary for Youth and Sports.

Rokovada thanked Kuruleca for maintaining the high standards of education by focusing on improving quality and equity in education.

Rokovada says the Commission believes this new assignment will further leverage Kuruleca’s skills and experience.

He says Nacuva brings extensive experience in public administration, education policy and training and development which will be crucial in continuing the Ministry’s efforts to enhance the quality and accessibility of education for all citizens.

He adds the Commission is committed to a smooth transition to ensure that the Ministry of Education remains focused on its mission of improving education outcomes.

Rokovada says an appointment of Acting Permanent Secretary of Multi-Ethnic Affairs and Sugar Industry to replace the outgoing Permanent Secretary, Yogesh Karan will be announced soon.
