The second batch of retired Fijian teachers who will travel to the Marshall Islands to teach have been reminded of their role in strengthening relations between the two countries.
Public Service Commission Permanent Secretary Pramesh Chand said the volunteers will provide their services to further enhance their capabilities in the Republic of Marshall Islands’ education sector.
These retired volunteers will be teaching Maths, History and English.
Out of the 12 teachers that went to Marshall Islands in 2012, 10 were offered permanent contracts by the government of Marshall Islands.
60-year-old Maria Qiqiwaqa of Waiyavi, Lautoka, said she is looking forward to travel to Majuro and make use of the knowledge and experience she has gained in the past 34 years as a secondary school teacher.
Currently, there are nine teachers in Vanuatu, six in Nauru and nine in Tuvalu serving under the Fiji Volunteer Service.
