Australia is providing F$150,000 to the Fiji Institute of Technology (FIT) to enable it to expand its teaching services and to improve the learning environment for students attending its School of Journalism. AusAID Counsellor James Sweeting and Institute Director Dr Ganesh Chand today signed an agreement for the assistance in Suva.
This assistance will enable the Institute’s School of Journalism to provide greater practical training in television and radio.
The Institute will buy equipment including computers, a transmitter and transmission equipment and recruit short-term trainers to teach areas such as multi-media journalism and new technologies. The Institute’s media studies program has 35 students.
It began in 2003 with a Certificate in Journalism and now offers a Diploma in Journalism. Sixteen of the 35 students are studying in the diploma program.
This assistance to FIT is consistent with Australia’s wider contribution to efforts in the Pacific to enhance citizens’ access to information through the media, civic education in schools and civil society organisations.
