Students will now be able to access educational programs through a new free-to-air Education Channel on Walesi

Fijian students from Kindergarten to Year 13 will now be able to access educational programs through a new free-to-air Education Channel on Walesi.

Minister for Education Rosy Akbar has urged students to take advantage of this opportunity provided by Government and learn as much as they can during this time.

Akbar says Fijian students will have access to a wide range of relevant curriculum-based educational programmes in literacy, numeracy and all other subjects from kindergarten to Year 13.

She added this initiative is for the benefit of our young ones and she is urging parents to encourage their children to view the free-to-air channel and, when possible, get actively involved in the process.

Students will be able to access the channel at any time through Walesi.

To further ensure that students are engaged in their studies during this period, the Ministry of Education has also prepared supplementary resource materials that will be accessible online.

This syllabus has been carefully prepared by the Curriculum Advisory Services Department of the Ministry of Education with the current circumstances in mind and covers all critical information to keep Fijians students up to date from the comfort of their own homes.

Attorney-General and Minister for Communications Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and Akbar held negotiations with the Fijian Broadcasting Corporation and Walesi to implement the new educational channel.
