Education Minister Aseri Radrodro emphasized the essential role of parents in their children’s educational journeys during a joint prefect’s induction ceremony at Vatukaloko Secondary School and Draunivi Public School in Rakiraki. He highlighted the need for families to invest quality time in supporting their children’s academic success.
Mr. Radrodro urged parents to take an active role in their children’s education by monitoring their progress, helping with homework, and participating in school events. He stated, “Your support at home makes a huge difference in their learning journey,” underlining the critical influence that parental involvement can have on students’ academic performance and overall development.
These comments are particularly relevant given ongoing concerns regarding the declining academic performance among students in Fiji, especially with important examinations on the horizon. The Minister previously noted that enhanced parental supervision could play a crucial role in addressing inconsistent passing rates observed among students.
During the same event, Radrodro encouraged the newly inducted prefects to dedicate themselves to their leadership roles, highlighting the importance of collaboration among parents, teachers, and the broader community in creating a supportive learning environment.
This collective call for action suggests a hopeful future for the educational landscape in Fiji. By fostering collaboration among families, educators, and community leaders, there is substantial potential to enhance educational outcomes and develop pathways for student success.
As the academic year commences, the focus on parental involvement offers a promising opportunity for meaningful improvements in Fiji’s education system, paving the way for a brighter future where every student can excel.
