Fijileaks: It is really time to KICK this Bloody Callous FFP Government out of power. SICKENING response from Education Minister where she claims her Government has to give scholarships where there is employability. She is yet to respond to us about her husband and the allegations contained in the USP BDO Report
* The HEARTLESS 'money controlling freak, in charge of millions from taxpayers and overseas budget support' (and with multiple stents he got fitted in a Singapore hospital) has $1.4million to dish out for rent for all UN offices in the current financial year that ends on 31 July, and is planning to build a UN House at taxpayers' expense, costing millions of dollars.
*We must DEMAND the UN pay for this student's fees to achieve her ambition to study medicine and surgery and not to be told to go and do a Bachelor's Degree in Pharmacy at the Fiji National University
Whatever happened to UN's Gender Education Policy?
Education Minister's response is like putting 'lipstick on a pig' - meaning-making superficial or cosmetic changes to a product in a futile effort to disguise its fundamental failings.
*In the bad old days, under the Mara, Rabuka and Qarase governments, thousands of Indo-Fijian students had lost places at university because of affirmative action where the bar was raised for Indo-Fijians to score 350 out of 400, and i-Taukei Fijian students marks were lowered for them to get university education. Here is a student who scored 395 out of 400
BOOT FFP OUT OF POWER

The Nadi Sangam College student that scored 395 out of 400 which is the highest mark in the Year 13 exam had wanted to study medicine and surgery but could not do this as there is no National Toppers scholarship that caters for this program.

When questioned if the Ministry will consider giving her a scholarship in the area since she scored the highest mark, Education Minister Premila Kumar says they need to focus on areas where there is employability.
.
Kumar says they have seen that sometimes students get carried away where they still go with their friends even though their parents are paying for their fees.

The Year 13 student is now opting to study Bachelor of Pharmacy at the Fiji National University.
