“There will be changes to the work culture of the whole education faculty to make it fully transparent”
These were the comments by the Minister for Education, Heritage and Arts Dr Mahendra Reddy on Wednesday in Labasa.
Dr Reddy said no information would be withheld from the public.
He said everything will be transparent and anyone can access information on changes and reforms on the Ministry’s website to get a view of the ministry’s plans.
He added that they are looking at redefining and re-planning their system of teaching and learning environment.
Dr Reddy said that they are currently looking at training teachers to be specialized for class one and two and train every teacher for basic First Aid and Occupational Health and Safety.
Reddy said they are introducing external exams from year 6 to year 13 as we are standardizing and of course, all schools should be on the same level and there should not be any reason why students or parents choose other schools.
The Minister visited Wavuwavu Primary School, Naduna Arya Primary School, Labasa Arya College and Batinikama Secondary School.
