Here’s the latest I found about Fiji’s Ministry of Education:
-
The Fiji Sun reported in October 2025 that the Ministry planned to recruit 1,125 new teachers to strengthen the education workforce and support quality learning nationwide. This indicates ongoing efforts to bolster teacher numbers and improve classroom support.[1]
-
A related Fiji Times piece from late September 2025 discusses reforms in Fiji’s education system, including the establishment of the Fiji Education Commission to lead a wide-ranging review of the education framework, with a National Curriculum Framework slated for rollout at the start of 2026. This signals a major structural reform phase affecting policy, curriculum, and oversight.[3]
-
Earlier government and media coverage highlights continuing collaboration with international partners and national agencies to support safe, inclusive learning environments, teacher welfare, and professional development. For example, UNICEF-backed school reopening context from 2022 illustrates ongoing emphasis on supportive learning environments and psychosocial support during transitions, though this is older context rather than a 2025–26 update.[2]
If you’d like, I can pull more recent coverage from Fiji media outlets (e.g., FBC News, Fiji Sun) or official ministry releases to verify whether the 2025–26 reforms have progressed and whether new implementation dates or policy changes have been announced. I can also summarize key points from any specific article you’re interested in.
