What are your long term aims and vision for Fiji?
Our Key aim and objectives as the NRL is to boost positive social cohesion influences, assist with maintaining quality education for all students in Fiji. To drive for gender equality more on the areas of awareness around domestic and gender-based violence, and promote inclusiveness in sports and all sectors of the workplaces in Fiji.
One of our current barriers is aligning our health, wellbeing and physical activity programs and objectives with the Fiji Ministry of Education.
Helping to assure the Ministry that programs like NRL have proved to be highly effective within school students at the primary school level. The exposure of NRL programs in Primary schools have allowed students to explore their key fundamental movement skills outside of the classroom which has in turn crated an open mindset and focus for students when returning to their daily studies inside the classroom.
It has been mostly difficult getting in the door of the Ministry of Education, and highlighting on areas that both parties can benefit more so all students of Fiji.
