  “To provide a holistic, inclusive, responsive and empowering education system that enables all children to realise their full potential, appreciate fully their inheritance, take pride in their national and cultural identity and contribute fully to sustainable national development”
  Education should holistically develop and inculcate in every child the fundamental ethical, moral, social, spiritual, and democratic values. Furthermore the objectives of education should emphasize the need for children to:
 
  • develop a sense of pride in their identity as citizens of Fiji through creative expressions in their learning experiences;
  • be motivated and trained to be lifelong learners;
  • be nurtured in order to live and fully participate in the global village; and be better prepared for the world of work where rapid change is inevitable
  Educational provision is based upon a core of intrinsic and enduring values.
  These are
 
  • Human rights and human dignity and responsibility
  • Safety and security for all
  • Civic pride
  • Cultural understanding, empathy and tolerance
