The Ministry of Education will be opening eight new technical college campuses all over Fiji in the coming weeks.
This was revealed by Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama while opening Nadroga‑Navosa Provincial Technical College campus.
Bainimarama says the eight new campuses will teach the young people the trade skills they need to find meaningful careers and enjoy productive lives.
Bainimarama adds the new campus represents opportunity to develop skills in the areas of mechanical engineering, carpentry, cooking, woodworking and many other fields.
Skills that are as important to the development of our economy as any other field of study.
Meanwhile, the Nadroga-Navosa campus stands as one of the largest technical college campuses in Fiji, and will draw students from villages, urban centres, suburbs and settlements.
It is also the only campus to include hostel facilities, which will ease the burden of those students who need to travel from deep rural and maritime areas.
