Education Minister Aseri Radrodro participated in a charitable initiative with the Foundation for the Education of Needy Children (FENC) in Fiji, aimed at distributing school bags and necessary stationery to students who require assistance. This program is part of the organization’s Child Education Support Scheme, which has already impacted over 35,000 children by providing essential educational materials necessary for a successful return to school.

During the event, Minister Radrodro emphasized the crucial role parents play in their children’s education and encouraged them to actively support their learning at home. He expressed appreciation for FENC’s timely efforts in supplying children with the tools they need to succeed, reinforcing the importance of collaboration between parents, communities, and organizations to foster a brighter future for all students.

This initiative aligns with ongoing efforts in Fiji to enhance educational resources and support for families, especially those facing financial challenges. Prior government initiatives, like the recent $200 back-to-school assistance for families, reflect a broader commitment to ensuring children are well-prepared for the academic year, following the economic strains many have encountered.

As we approach the new school year, this support signifies a positive step towards educational readiness, promoting a greater likelihood of academic success among students. Together, these efforts aim to create a nurturing environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive in their educational journey, a hopeful vision for the future of education in Fiji.
