The Fiji National Provident Fund (FNPF) is deeply committed to enhancing the educational opportunities for its members, ensuring that they obtain recognized and accredited qualifications. Farnaz Queet, the Senior Manager of Member Services, underscores that the programs are focused on empowering members with substantial and credible credentials rather than just offering participation certificates.
To realize this vision, FNPF works in close collaboration with the Fiji Higher Education Commission, especially when courses are provided by foreign institutions. This partnership is vital as it guarantees that all accredited courses comply with the national education qualification framework, which encompasses levels 1 to 10.
Queet emphasizes the significance of these stringent checks for the protection of members’ savings and the assurance that their investments in education are beneficial. She stated, “The courses you undertake are meant to provide an actual return on your educational investment,” highlighting the importance of high standards in the educational offerings.
The FNPF’s commitment to quality education not only aims to boost the skill set of its members but also plays a vital role in benefiting the wider community by developing a more skilled workforce. This initiative reflects a hopeful outlook, where empowered individuals contribute positively to the economy and society at large.
