In his message, Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama said that he always believed that funding our children’s education is the single best investment a government can make.

The Prime Minister says taking responsibility for your education means respecting and listening to your teachers and means being kind to your classmates.

Bainimarama says it means putting your best foot forward, working hard, reading, studying and asking questions.
