The founder of Fiji Rugby Academy, Sereimaia Bai, commended the work of all teachers who were able to teach successfully despite an outdated education system.

“We should be very thankful to all the teachers of Fiji because we have produced some of the professors, pilots, not only employed here in Fiji, but overseas as well,” Mr Bai said.

He said the unemployment rate in Fiji led him to start a rugby academy.

“In 2018, Fiji recorded about 15,000 unemployed youths, this is the reason for me to start a Rugby Academy. If it is an academy, it is where you develop potential and elite rugby players, I always call it, it is an environment,” Mr Bai said.
