MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, HERITAGE & ARTS - 2015 ANNUAL CORPORATE PLAN2
Minister’s Foreword
Warm greetings to one and all.
This Corporate Plan outlines the priorities of the Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts to open to all children the opportunity for steady and productive learning. It provides a guideline for education to make the individual the source of progress, and thus to realize the promise of a free and peaceful life in a globalized world.
The Fijian government has in the recent past focused on empowering an education system that is responsive to the needs and aspirations of this nation. Annually, the senior management of the Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts convene to devise this edition and strategize on the preeminent methodology to ensure that all key performance indicators are met in the delivery of educational services.If this nation is to grow in wisdom and strength, then every child should be able to realize his own highest possibilities.
It is obvious that we cannot afford to neglect our brain power, and the commitment to do this must begin at the elementary level. It must begin with the child in the classroom. If we want prosperity to mean anything, if we wish to ensure that every child seizes the full promise of this new and changing economy, then we have to shake up the status quo in our schools. Many schools are making progress, but we can do a lot better, and we must.
2015 will be a year of implementing a number of new strategies and reforms which should streamline the performance of the Ministry as a whole. The future of our children looks bright and promising. The new directions highlighted in this plan and the continued observance of good corporate governance, should produce improved results in the conduct of education in this current year.
As we begin this new academic journey for 2015, let us be committed to making an education system that is second to none in the global market.
Thank You, Vinaka Vakalevu and Dhanyavaad.
Dr. Mahendra ReddyHonourable Minister for Education, Heritage and Arts.

Assistant Minister’s Message
The Ministry of Education has a dream which is to deliver QUALITY EDUCATION for the betterment of this country and people thus we are committed to the vision, ‘QUALITY EDUCATION FOR CHANGE, PEACE AND PROGRESS’.
The 2015 Annual Corporate Plan for the Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts incorporates the guideline to fulfilling the deliverables for 2015. This will align itself to its defined vision, mission and values in the provision of the best possible services to its stakeholders.
The Fijian government has in the recent past poured a substantive portion of its budget to the education sector. This is a testament to the fact that government is committed in making education accessible, affordable and equitable to all students in Fiji.
Many reforms will take place and we will work together in the accomplishments creating a conducive learning environment from Pre- School to Tertiary level. To fulfill and deliver the best of our services in education for all Fijian’s in Fiji; tertiary institutions will now enroll students with only a 260 plus marks in Teaching Programmes or B-grade in foundation studies, prospective teachers will need a GPA of 2.5 after graduation to be registered as a teacher with Fiji Teacher Registration Authority, teachers will deliver quality lesson since they will not be overloaded with administrative responsibilities. On the same note, work on the curriculum review has already begunand the re-introduction of external examination from 2015.The formation of Technical Colleges will encourage students to develop their career in the technical field, where there is a demand in Fiji and other countries.
It is my utmost plea to all stakeholders of the education sector to embrace teamwork and motivation in ensuring that the deliverables of 2015 are met beyond expectations.I am certain that individuals, schools, sections, districts and divisions will selflessly commit themselves towards achieving the expectations this year.
My sincere wishes for a Blessed 2015.
Hon. Vijay NathAssistant Minister for Education, Heritage and Arts.

Permanent Secretary’s Statement
Ni sa Bula Vinaka!
As the Acting Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts, I have great pleasure in presenting the 2015 Annual Corporate Plan. This 2015 ACP defines the direction the ministry will follow for 2015.
Entrenched in the plan are the ministry’s vision, mission, principles and values which are the backbone of its existence. The ministry has aligned itself to the 2013 Constitution of the Republic of Fiji, initiatives and reforms of the present government and the regional and international agreements.
Initiatives and reforms that have been launched before 2015 like the transport assistance scheme, zoning policy for urban school and fee free grants will continue to be implemented in 2015.
However, the focus for this year will be the establishment of technical colleges in the education divisions; distribution of milk to Year one students; issuance of the ministry of education prescribed text-books written by curriculum development unit Officers to all schools for all students from Year 1 to Year 13; training of teachers on OHS and Basic Counselling skills and examinations for Year 6 and Year 10 students.
Education Officers, school heads and teachers have attended relevant trainings abroad as well as locally to equip them for the implementation of initiatives and reforms as well as challenges that may be encountered from time to time.
The re-structuring of the Ministry of Education is greatly anticipated as the entire civil service will go through re-structuring so to lift the performance of civil servants to another level.
The caliber, potential and the professionalism of the current team at the ministry has given us great hope that the achievements of 2015 will be beyond expectation. I salute the team for what has been achieved and do look forward to the realization of the 2015 targeted outputs.
May God’s Blessings be Upon the Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts.
