BITING HARD INTO THEIR WALLETS: Parents fork out $150 to download textbooks from the Ministry of Education website and get it printed. Did Government con parents and students when it promised free textbooks?

17/2/2015

1) Some schools are telling their students to download their textbooks from the MoE Website and get it printed.
2) One parent tells Fijileaks he just spent almost $150 just to print textbooks for his son
3) The site http://www.education.gov.fj/index.php/textbooks/year-7 has about 7 textbooks and it costs 10c a page to print at an internet shop
4) Each book is about 100-200 pages.
5) Not all parents have access to internet neither can they afford the printing charges
6) Is this what the Government meant by free textbooks?

Aren't there any Copyright issues when you print whole texts? Just wondering since the MOE should not be seen to be condoning intellectual theft of someone's work.

The list of 'pack of lies' spread by FF and Baini and Kaiyum is becoming more clear. Yet we have donkey-headed people and supporters who keep posting on Facebook what a great leader and good govt we have. Let's make a list of ever increasing duties and taxes we have since this bulshit govt came into being. Baini and Kaiyum are there just to fill their pockets and of those close to them. What say! Free books- bulshit, free education- bulshit, cheaper cars- bulshit, cheaper groceries- bulshit, good medical facilities- bulshit, good police service- bloody hell

Probably the total cost of printing, binding and distribution of the books would be less than $10-00 at the government printing press.

Oh.. Sorry they have SOLD the government printers - have they ?

But even that's not the point - the point is that the FijiFools Party had promised FREE education, books, bus fares and Milk - what happened?? Lies, lies and more bloody Lies.

Bainimarama should be aptly called Chororama / Butakorama

Never mind about the textbooks and what it costs the parents to acquire it. The important thing is Bainimarama and Khaiyum's "new" Fiji will get a new flag.
So don't worry be happy!

Changing the flag is not a good idea. If it wasn't for the British where will you be??
Well the Union Jack has a deep meaning so removing, well it's just a bad idea
