We condemn FijiFirst’s resistance to free tertiary education – SODELPA Youth

SODELPA’s Youth Vice President and provisional candidate, Koroi Tikoilomaloma.

It is disheartening to hear the resistance of some current bureaucrats to the SODELPA Manifesto Plan for the free tertiary education and TELS debts cancellation scheme.

Those are the words of SODELPA’s Youth Vice President and provisional candidate, Koroi Tikoilomaloma who says political opposition to this SODELPA policy should be condemned by every student and youth in this country.

Tikoilomaloma says SODELPA has provided a platform for thousands of students and youths to be free from financial burden of tertiary education fees and repayment of TELS debt.

He says the recent Household and Income Survey (2020/2021) has highlighted poverty statistics, the majority of whom are youths, who are either struggling, disadvantaged or economically dependent.

Tikoilomaloma says youths makeup most of Fiji’s population and have sadly fallen victim to the current Government’s mismanagement of our economy which has led to record debt woes, unemployment, and lack of job opportunities.

He says these bureaucrats, through their political masters have put up a wall of resistance against the SODELPA policy which aims to attain a better future for this nation’s people, through free tertiary education and cancellation of TELS debts.
