While officiating at the launch, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Professor Biman Prasad, alongside Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro, emphasized the government’s commitment to leveraging technology to advance education in Fiji.
Professor Prasad says students will now find it easier and more accessible to apply for tertiary scholarships, as they can conveniently complete their applications online instead of waiting in long lines, saving time and effort.
He highlighted that the launch of these initiatives mark a significant step forward in how Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence are being used to redefine and streamline work processes.
