RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST PLAYING AT IT, NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT IT…. NOW, NOT NEXT YEAR, OR NEXT CENTURY..

NOW

All school based annual exams from year 6 to Year 10 will now be replaced by the final exams that will be prepared by the Ministry.

While speaking at the National Education Conference at the Fiji National University Campus in Lautoka today, Education Minister, Doctor Mahendra Reddy said this will ensure that the coverage of the exam is same, the exam is of the same level and standard and the marking intensity is same across the schools in Fiji.

Fiji Airways Chief Executive Officer, Stefan Pichler will leave the airline in February next year.

The Economic Times reports that German airline, Air Berlin has named Pichler as their new chief executive to take over a restructuring programme as it tries to return to profit.

Air Berlin, Germany’s second-largest airline and 29% owned by Abu-Dhabi based Etihad, said yesterday that their Chief Executive was standing down at his own request and will be replaced by Stefan Pichler on February 1st, 2015.

When Stefan Pichler arrived two years ago he was not met by any of Fiji Airways Executive Management, he carried all his own bags, and immediately got on with the job of putting the airline on the right track. This included disposing of the team of overpriced consultants that his fast talking predecessor could not operate without.

Stefan Pichler will be a great loss to Fiji Airways, and the Pensioners (who still have a large investment in Fiji Airways) believe that Stefan Pichler should make the final decision on who his replacement should be and the relevant Minister should have no input.
