The Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts wishes to inform all Year 13 students, parents/guardians and teachers that the recent article published by the Fiji Times yesterday (10 August 2021) titled “Students to Focus on Revision” is misleading and incorrect.
The statement provided to the Fiji Times by the Permanent Secretary Dr. Jokhan has been misinterpreted.
When schools reopen for classroom teaching, the first few weeks will be used for revision purposes to ensure students understand complex concepts that are currently being delivered remotely, which is part of the realigned curriculum.
The Ministry has realigned its curriculum for all levels including Year 13; the core body of knowledge remains unaffected. The realigned curriculum is being taught at all levels remotely.
Schools have been able to complete a fair amount of the curriculum in Term 1 and teachers are continuing to deliver the reminder remotely.
Students are encouraged to interact with their teachers through the existing communication platforms to ensure they understand complex concepts.
