Speeches - Fiji Government Online ( www.fiji.gov.fj Hon. Qarase - Commonwealth Education Ministers Regional Review Apr 19, 2005, 09:00 Honourable Laisenia Qarase Mr Chairman Honourable Ministers Members of the Diplomatic Corps Distinguished Delegates Ladies and Gentlemen I express my sincere gratitude for the kind invitation to give the opening address for this Asia-Pacific mid-term review of the Commonwealth Education Action Plan. To our visitors, I extend a cordial welcome to our shores on behalf of the people and Government of Fiji. We hope you enjoy your brief stay with us and that you find time for a little relaxation before returning home. I was very keen to attend this meeting because of its significance for the Commonwealth, for the region and for our own country. Of the many priorities in the business of constructing nations, systems of education are of commanding importance. Successful States, with flourishing economies and prosperous citizens, rest on education. People who are deprived of a good education are often disadvantaged throughout their lives, unable to escape from poverty. Give children from poor families a decent education and they receive the keys to a better future. Make education appropriate for a globalized world and countries can compete and progress; the young are able to pursue their ambitions wherever they choose to live and work. Teach students from racially disparate countries like Fiji how to live together at school with respect and understanding and you bridge the differences which make divisions.

The history of Fiji - to date Introduction The fabled origins of the indigenous people in Fiji is Africa, and more specifically Tanganyika, although this is still taught as fact in schools it is widely disputed by historians. Historians state that the first settlers were Polynesians who started settling the Lau Islands group on Fiji's eastern borders about 3,500 years ago, while Melanesians settled the Coral Coast on Fiji's biggest island, Viti Levu, about 2,500 years ago. While the exact origins of the Fijian people are lost in time what has resulted is a rich diversity in language, some aspects of culture and politics. Vanua Levu Two of the most important words in Fijian culture - and the name of a major Fijian Island. Important to all indigenous Fijians are the words "vanua" (all encompassing word describing his life but also meaning, people, air, land, rivers, language, seas, spirits, history, kinship ties within a tribe, as well as all things that they come in contact with both living and non-living); and "levu" or traditional land. Thus the names of the major islands "Viti Levu" (Big Island) and Vanua Levu - reflecting this importance. Clan - hierarchy, culture and land ownership

Archives Featured Views Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Sunday, June 11, 2000 in the Los Angeles Times US Fails Fiji: Consequences of a Corporatized Diplomacy by Robert A. Hooper SAN DIEGO - On May 19, the Pacific island nation of Fiji, known more as a South Seas paradise than a Third World trouble spot, erupted in violence. Hundreds of shops were looted and burned, homes sacked, the nation's new television station trashed and a policeman killed. Armed followers of a bankrupt businessman marched past what remains of the U.S. Embassy in Suva, the capital, to Parliament, where they took Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry and his cabinet hostage. As events escalated to a full-blown coup, its enigmatic leader, George Speight, seized power on behalf of indigenous Fijians in opposition to a government dominated by Fiji's Indian minority. Speight wants the constitution changed so that only indigenous Fijians can hold the country's top political jobs. Fiji's 1997 constitution had enabled Chaudhry to come to power. Fiji, like many small nations emerging from the ashes of poverty and colonialism, was an accident waiting to happen. It also occurs at a time when U.S. policy emphasizes trade and open markets over the development of democratic institutions.

FIJI: THE WARRIOR ARCHIPELAGO In War they are fearless and savage to the utmost degree, but in peace their disposition is mild and generous towards their friends, and the affection they bear towards their relatives is seldom found among Europeans. William Lockerby Marooned in Fiji in 1808 Fiji's Geography The 300-island archipelago of Fiji is at the bottom of the Melanesian chain of islands south from New Guinea. The archipelago is bound on the west by the Yasawas, the closest islands of the Fiji group to the Melanesian islands of Vanuatu. Melanesian influence is particularly marked among the Yasawa population, notably with regard to phisiogomy, language and socio-religious characteristics. At the easternmost edge of the archipelago lie the small and isolated islands of the Lau group. The proximity of the Laus to the islands of West Polynesia, particularly Tonga, has resulted in a considerable flow of culture and genes from Polynesia, with the result that Lau islanders both physically and culturally resemble their neighbors to the east. At the center of these two small island groups lie the four main islands of Fiji: Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni and Kandavu, which straddle the dividing line between two distinct peoples and their cultures. Fundamentally, Fijian society and culture are traditionally Melanesian, but modified by ideas and concepts introduced from Polynesia and integrated with Melanesian interests and practices.

Asia-Pacific Regional Press Freedom Seminar Country Report - Fiji Fiji has three daily newspapers publishing seven days a week - the SUN, Daily Post which is partly owned by the Government and the Fiji Times owned by News Limited - which is the oldest and biggest in terms of circulation and staff numbers. The Fijian weekly Nai Lalakai and the Hindi weekly Shati Dut are both part of the Fiji Times group. The other Fijian weekly is published by the Post. There are two radio stations - the privately owned Communications Fiji Limited which runs FM96, Viti FM and Radio Navatrang, and the Government-sponsored Radio Fiji which also has stations in English, Fijian and Hindi. Fiji Television operates the only TV station in the country. Fiji's media was recently rated in a World press freedom review as among the most free and robust in the South Pacific. Visiting independent media consultants and organisations have expressed similar sentiments. Despite the political upheavals which has becoming a regular feature of life in Fiji for a decade journalists in Fiji enjoy a considerable amount of freedom in their work. But there have been numerous attempts by Governments - which has changed hands eight times in the past 18 years - to control the media through legislation. These have been strongly resisted by the Fiji media which have formed a united front to fight any Government intervention.
