Strategies for Education Recovery in Fiji

In addition to economic and social disruptions, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted teaching and learning for students through periodic closures of schools around the world.
Fiji is no different, with two bouts of school closures, one in 2020 and the second currently ongoing since 20 April 2021.
This means that students starting Year 3 in Fiji in 2022 will have had their education disrupted since Year 1 – 12 weeks in 2020 and 12 weeks in 2021 (assuming schools remain shut until the end of July 2021). The 24 weeks lost will equate to almost one-third of the total time these students should have been at school during their first two years of schooling.
“Most breadwinners in this settlement are unemployed because of this second wave and they cannot provide for their families which more often are extended families living together under one roof,” Ms Prasad said.
