There is an urgent need to investigate the quality of Fiji’s students advancing to higher and advanced education and the impact of Fiji’s current primary and secondary education curriculum on these issues.
This was one of the resolutions at the conclusion of the two day National Economic Summit.
They also acknowledged the quality of education which has been neglected over the years due to an over emphasis on student enrollment in schools with less emphasis on lifelong skills training which will enable students to deal with the existing and future challenges.
They have called for a strong partnership between Government and the community in the delivery of cost-effective education at primary, secondary and higher education levels.
It also noted Government’s intention to convene a National Education Summit.
