“My presence here is not an accident, but God’s will, that is to bring higher education to your doorsteps” - Mahendra Reddy

HOGGING CREDIT: Education Minister Mahendra Reddy must be reminded that it was former FNU VC Ganesh Chand who was behind all the technical colleges, beginning with the setting up of the Arya technical college in his (Chand's) village Naduna in Labasa; Reddy masterminded Chand's dismissal from FNU to straddle education landscape now!

It is the taxpayers who are bringing higher education to Bua
A technical college is expected to be built soon at Nawaca Primary School after villagers from Dama District in Bua gave their traditional approval last Friday.

Minister for Education Mahendra Reddy, speaking in Dama, said renovation would start in December.

“My presence here is not an accident, but God’s will, that is to bring higher education to your doorsteps,” Mr Reddy said.

“Many people living in the interior fail to pursue their dreams because of the lack of income to send children to Viti Levu to further their studies, but you are so fortunate that a higher education institution is here at your doorstep.”

He expects the people of Dama to enjoy the full benefits of free education.

Replying to Mr Reddy in iTaukei, Buli Nawaca Ratu Senitiki Naoko expressed the gratitude of all the people of Dama District.

“This will benefit the people of Nawaca especially the youths who are staying in the village,” Ratu Senitiki said.

“My people are so fortunate and blessed to have their very own higher education institution in the village.”

The minister also took time out to visit neighbouring secondary schools, Bua College and Naikavaki College, that would benefit from the new institution. Source: Fiji Sun

Fijileaks: What will happen to Nawaca Primary School when they turn the school to a technical college? Where will the current students go?
  Government is using school infrastructure built by private funds of parents. Why can they build own infrastructure for technical colleges?

Minister explains changes to free bus fare scheme

Education Minister Dr Mahendra Reddy has today cleared the air on the changes in the free bus fare scheme for students.

The Ministry issued a memo outlining changes to the scheme.

Dr. Reddy says government will pay the fare for the nearest school only.

He adds any child is eligible for the scheme as far as the combined parental income is less than 16 thousand $500.

“If they choose to go to another school then they will have to pay for themselves. If there is a nearest school whether its stage 1 or stage 2 we all fund it,” said Minister for Education, Dr Mahendra Reddy.

Dr Reddy says changes have been made to minimize the abuse of the bus vouchers by the students, schools as well as bus companies.

“We have also come up with color coding so that people don’t keep  their unused tickets and use it or sell it to someone. We are developing and fine tuning the system continuously to fix the abuse that has been happening.” Source: Fiji TV One News

SEDITION SUSPECTS: "It was God's Will for us to form Christian state"

"By four [p.m.19 April] we spent some time in prayer and options and
we asked Rabuka to prepare his side of things, you know, the military option. And all the things we were doing were the lead up. We asked Rabuka to prepare that side and when the time, when we reach a stage when he must step in, he must be ready to step in. We changed it [the coup] to Thursday on Wednesday night in my office at the Bible Society with Rabuka."
- FFP Foreign Minister  Inoke Kubuabola, the then leader of the violent and anti-Indo-Fijian Taukei Movement, quoted in Victor Lal, Fiji: Coups in Paradise - Race, Politics and Military Intervention; Kubuabola was also President of the Fiji Council of Churches and Secretary General of the Bible Society of the South Pacific

24 August 2000: Kubuabola attacks Victor Lal after joining post George Speight coup as Minister for Information in the interim Qarase led government: “Victor Lal’s articles [in Fiji's Daily Post] all have a simple, indeed simplistic stance, restore [Mahendra] Chaudhry and impose democracy as defined by Lal and his friends. What he is advocating is an Indian supremacist doctrine, a new version of Hitlerian herrenvolk for Fiji. The racism lies in his desires, not those of us Fijians. His obsession to control Fiji, blinds him to his own ambitions.” Kubuabola was responding to the London based Movement for Democracy in Fiji which had intensified its fight for deposed Chaudhry’s political rights.

Dr reddy can also claim that God told him to give Dr Chand a $0.5m golden handshake.

God told him to have affair with taxi drivers wife.
God told him to offer job to taxi driver.
God told him to offer job to taxi drivers wife as tea lady at FCC.
God told him to send sextexts to sacked PS education in the middle of night.
Dr reddy pls stop taking gods name in your immoral acts.

Editor,
Fijileaks has provided Hon.Minister for Education Mahendra Reddy an insightful reminder by pointing out that first coup leader Rabuka used the same language and perverse logic to rationalise his illegal takeover. That it was Gods will and all that.
Hon. Mahendra Reddy would find what a letter writer says very educational. Patricia Parkinson writes in The Age 6/9 " Politics is language; every choice of word is a political act..What people in power say is the only means we citizens have to measure politicians integrity, accountability and sense of responsibility. Instead we have an endless round of " doublespeak" ( Orwellean newspeak ) intended only to silence the truth ( or ti would add bamboozle the public). I am fed up. The principles of democracy ... Should be fortified by language, not manipulate and devalue it".
Mahendra Reddy's claim of divine ordination belongs in the latter category.
Sincerely,
Rajend Naidu

When power gets into politicians head they begin to imagine they have a special relationship with God. That they are the chosen ones. They are only one thing : Delusional!
That's the reason for the fanciful religious mumbojumbo .

What are teachers union doing link

It's sad to see that the Minister of Education continues to bully teachers and the union leaders are totally indifferent to all he is saying. One wonders why. Are these union leaders so spineless and self centered that they don't want to say anything. Are they worried about their pay or what they are hiding? Which education minister in another country can say that the education system, the teachers, and curriculum is pathetic and get away with it. Which education minister can undermine his own staff, discredit their intelligence, critise the quality of products of education and the union leaders stay silent about it. What a sad day for teachers unions in this country.

If the Queen claims God has kept her in her reign for over 63 years one can believe that.
Nobody can believe god sent Mahendra Reddy to Bua. Why would God bother with a fart like Mahendra Reddy?
