New computers for St John's College
ST John College students in Levuka, Ovalau received new desktop computers from the Education Minister, Viliame Gavoka during his visit last month.
The ministry is investing more on technology for rural, remote and maritime schools.
"As the world is getting smaller with improved technology and communication, the Coalition Government invests in technology to ensure that all schools are equipped with computers and software that will enable Fiji to be the hub of technology in the Pacific," he said.
"The Coalition Government is investing in technology by supplying rural, remote, and maritime schools with desktops to supplement the stock in the schools.
"The Technical Vocational Unit of MOE has utilised about $200,000 to supply desktops to 18 rural remote maritime secondary schools that have recently offered Computer Education and Office Technology studies at Years 9-13 level."
He reminded the students of Cawaci that in his time as a student at Ratu Kadavulevu School, Cawaci was renowned in its prowess, especially in the field of rugby.
"Today, I want to challenge you to rise and showcase your skills and knowledge in all spheres of learning both in the core and extra curriculum of education."
He encouraged the students to take ownership of their learning as the world is their oyster. He also thanked the students for the traditional welcome presented to him in his dialect.
The ministry plays a pivotal role in preparing students with the right knowledge, skill, and capacity for the future of the workforce in Fiji.
