EDUCATING PREMILLA KUMAR: It looks like Education Minister was
not consulted nor asked for input on Education in Budget. We wonder if Aiyaz Khaiyum sneaked in the Toppers scholarship for Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery after an outcry around the world against denying the Year 13 girl, who got the highest mark in Fiji, 395 out of 400, scholarship to study medicine and surgery?
Our Editor-in-Chief to Aiyaz Khaiyum, 21 March 2022:

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.
