The first national dialogue on ‘transforming education’ will be convened this week.

Aimed at mobilizing political ambition and solidarity to truly transform education and take stock of pandemic-related learning losses, this national dialogue is the crucial first step that will ensure Fijian voices are heard at a global level, and result in educational transformations at the national level through policy changes and aligned UN system plans.

The Permanent Secretary for Education Dr Anjeela Jokhan says this national consultation gives them the very opportunity to continue their efforts to improve the access and quality of education in Fiji, especially as every voice counts, particularly of young people themselves.

Dr Jokhan says transforming education and ensuring that all children receive the best learning is at the heart of the Ministry.

UN Resident Coordinator to Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu, Sanaka Samarasinha, says urgent transformations in education policy are needed to ensure words were put into action for the future of Fiji, and that the UN’s new incoming Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework will align itself to Fiji’s national development plans.

The national consultation on transforming education in Fiji is led by the Education Ministry and supported by the UN Resident Coordinator’s Office, UNICEF and UNESCO.

The outcome of the consultation will be a National Statement of Commitment outlining Fiji’s plans to transform education and accelerate progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 4.

This Statement will be submitted for the Transforming Education Summit in New York.
