Education Minister Aseri Radrodro has called upon Divisional Officers to leverage the Fijian Education Management Information System (FEMIS) to enhance data-driven decision-making within the Ministry of Education. During a recent two-day workshop themed ‘Empowering Education Leadership for Effective and Efficient Operations of Schools,’ the Minister emphasized the critical role these officers play as the intermediaries between the Ministry and schools.
Radrodro stated that properly trained officers are essential for effectively guiding and monitoring educational institutions. He noted, “When these officers are trained and equipped with the right information, they can efficiently guide and monitor the schools.”
The workshop addressed pivotal issues identified by the Ministry, including necessary training for inputting data into FEMIS, understanding legislation and policies, optimizing grant utilization, and exploring new initiatives aimed at enhancing school operations. This initiative aligns with Radrodro’s broader vision to uplift educational standards across Fiji, as demonstrated through previous workshops on finance management, which also focused on improving academic performance.
With a commitment to fostering a collaborative educational environment, this initiative offers optimistic prospects for a revitalized framework in Fiji’s educational landscape. By empowering educational leaders and promoting effective resource management, the Ministry aspires to ensure that all students receive quality education and the support they need to thrive in various aspects of life.
