“TO our students preparing for the start of the term, I want each of you to know that we, your parents, your grandparents, guardians and friends are all rooting for your success.”

This is the message from Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama to students as another school year begins today.

Mr Bainimarama said any dream, whether big or small, began with education.

“We believe in you, we want you to do well, and we’re here to support you in every way we can so that you can perform to the best of your abilities,” he said.

“As students, when you take responsibility for your education, you give yourself the opportunity to become the Fijians you want to be. The type of Fijians your family, friends and community can count on, and that our nation needs if we are to build on all of our great progress.”

The PM also advised students that taking responsibility of their education meant respecting and listening to their teachers.

“It means being kind to your classmates. It means putting your best foot forward; working hard, reading, studying and asking questions.

“And it means thinking seriously about your future. Because, rest assured, no matter where you want to go in life, you will need an education to get there.”

Mr Bainimarama added that every student must have the foundation of support for their education and that every Fijian and every family must put their children’s education first.

“Someone at home should be checking in on their progress and encouraging them to succeed. Someone should always be present when required for parent-teacher meetings.

“Every family, everywhere in our country, must make sure their students are attending school every day they are able.” |
