Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama has reassured the people of Mokani in Tailevu and neighboring villages that when students complete their education at the Bau Central College, they will have the opportunity at their feet like at no time before in the history of Fijian education.

Bainimarama gave this reassurance as he opened the new $1.6 million Bau Central College.

The Prime Minister highlighted that the new school has been built to a standard that is worthy for students, with proper building plans and high‑quality materials.

Bainimarama also highlighted to the students that education is the single greatest equaliser in any society, it bridges the gap between the rich and poor like nothing else can.

The Prime Minister adds that he believes that the free education initiative is one of the many reasons why the divide between the rich and the disadvantaged in Fiji is decreasing.
