In addition to the provision of free education at Primary and Secondary level, the Government has also made a commitment to the education of tertiary students. In line with theme of "Building a Smarter Fiji", the Government has announced a number of initiatives ensuring the youth of Fiji access to tertiary education , one of which is a low interest loan to any Fijian student who is accepted at any of the tertiary institutions in Fiji. The Tertiary Education Loan Scheme (TELS) covers the cost of tuition and will not be repaid until after a student has graduated and entered employment. The Government has allocated 600 scholarships for tertiary students who achieve the highest marks in the Fiji Seventh Form Examination under the National Toppers Scheme.
