ON January 10, 1978, The Fiji Times reported on the opening of the Fijian Teachers Association annual conference that was held at the Nasinu Teachers College.
Chief guest was then Minister for Education, Semesa Sikivou. Mr Sikovou said that priorities were wrong and people placed too much emphasis on passing examinations and relied too much on government aid.
He spoke in Fijian for almost an hour about education problems relating especially to Fijians.
