The Ministry of Education, National Heritage, Culture and Arts is having its information exhibition this week at the Government Service Centre in Suva to provide first-hand information about its services to members of the public.
Minister for Education Filipe Bole who visited the exhibition yesterday encouraged people to visit the exhibition to understand the services and role of the Ministry.
“We need to let the public understand what our roles are so we can work in collaboration to improve the standard of education in Fiji,” Mr Bole said.
“We also have the National Heritage, Culture and Arts here to highlight on the preservation of culture and the promotion of heritage sites that exist within our beloved Fiji,” he added.
“We have the theme “Reaching Out to Enhance Quality Education” and this theme should be maximized in this weeklong exhibition,” Mr Bole added.
Mr Bole urged all exhibitors to ensure that those who visit the displays return with satisfaction.
“Provide them (public) with the information and the services they require. We need the support of the public in our quest to develop Fiji into a knowledge based society,” Mr Bole said.
“This exhibition is in line with the government’s desire to serve members of the public with the queries and issues that they may seek to know or clarify. It is a means of providing services to ordinary members of the public as they deserve much higher standards of attention, efficiency, courtesy and respect.”
The Ministry of Education, National Heritage, Culture and Arts began its exhibition on Monday with selected schools in Suva also participating in the activities which will continue through to midday Saturday where the Ministry permanent secretary Dr Brij Lal will formally close the weeklong activity.
