IRENE Lata ready to begin her tertiary studies at the Fiji National University (FNU) and is determined to complete each year of study at FNU successfully.

Whilst her daughter began Year 1 at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Primary School last week, Ms Lata is counting down the days until she begins her first year degree programme studies at the Fiji National University (FNU).

She said it was an exciting start to the year as she and her daughter had set academic goals to complete their respective first year of studies successfully.

The 26-year-old will pursue her Bachelor of Commerce (Industrial Relations/Human Resources Management and Management) degree at FNU’s College of Business, Hospitality and Tourism Studies (CBHTS) at Nasinu Campus.

“I’m really grateful for the support from my husband and the rest of my family members,” Ms Lata said.

After leaving high school in 2009, Lata was unable to secure a scholarship to pursue her tertiary education in a Bachelor of Commerce programme due to the scholarship criteria.

Realising that she was unable to finance her tertiary education as a private student, Lata opted to enrol in a certificate course at FNU that would allow her to find employment and save funds for her studies.

“In 2010, I enrolled in the Certificate in Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy course at FNU that was offered by the College of Humanities and Education (CHE). We were based at UniStudio Campus in Raiwai at the time. After successfully completing this course, I worked for a few hair salons in Suva and Nausori,” she said.

“I know that FNU has the best interest of all students in mind, even those already in the workforce but wish to upgrade their qualifications. I believe this is why they have evening classes, to cater for students like me.”
