The establishment of the Fiji Higher Education Commission is the first major step towards the development and promotion of Fiji’s higher education sector. It is in line with the government’s priorities of achieving higher economic growth and making Fiji a knowledge-based society as stated in Pillars 5 and 9 respectively of The Peoples’ Charter for Change, Peace and Progress. How the higher education sector can contribute towards the achievement of these priorities is obvious. Increasing access to and raising the quality and relevance of higher education will mean increasing the number of those with higher qualifications as well as effectively meeting the education and training needs of individuals and the labour market. These, in turn, will contribute to the development of a knowledge-based society and sustainable economic growth. As observed in other developing countries, these developments will need to be supported by constant up-skilling, research, advanced training and the retraining of workers at all levels and the use of appropriate information and communications technology.
