A Message from the Executive Chairman
I have sincere pleasure in presenting the 2013 Annual Report of the Fiji
Higher Education Commission.
The Commission’s endeavour in pursuing quality, relevance and
consistency in the higher education sector across Fiji has reflected
significant and notable progress. The embarking of major initiatives in
our fourth year of operations has continuously reflected the many
critical steps needed towards reaching our objectives.
Our emphasis and ultimate vision of quality graduates is an important component of our
ambition to become a ‘premier higher education destination’. Each of the achievements
outlined in our Annual Report builds on much hard work across the sections toward
achieving our outcomes and conforming to government’s strategic alignment for a
sustainable economic growth.
We have further developed our international profile, with particular focus on enriching our
engagement with international Higher Education bodies and Quality Assurance agencies.
We also explored new directions with our transitional funding system that aspires fair and
justifiable funding for recognized and registered Institutions.
On the educational outlook, we continue to pursue the advocacy and up taking of National
Qualifications, ensuring that the pathways for both white and blue collar jobs are equitable
and clearly understood across the communities.
The Commission has embarked on plans to develop its staff professionalism and capabilities
to international standards, host conferences and symposiums both in the local and
international arena for collaboration and networking of institutions, industries, government
bodies, donors and other key stakeholders. This is to raise standards required of the
Commission as an accrediting body and thereby ensuring recognition of the Fiji
Qualifications Framework as professionally competent with our counterparts in other
developed countries.
I take this opportunity to thank the Minister for Education for his continually support and
governance. My sincere appreciation extends to the Commission, including institutions,
industries, professional and government bodies and our key stakeholders, in their continuous
assistance and efforts with achieving our strategic objectives. I also thank the staff of the
Secretariat, members of the Fiji Qualifications Council and members of various committees of
the Commission for the time, dedication and endeavours commitment.

premier, world class higher education
destination.
Mission
To ensure that higher education institutions
pursue an indispensable level of quality,
excellence and relevance in higher
education that is globally competitive and
internationally recognized.
Philosophy
The Commission’s pursuit of the above
mission is guided by the belief that higher
education is essential for social, economic,
political and cultural progress. Higher
education also provides expanded
opportunities for learners to realize their
potentials so they can become productive
and competitive in the workplace,
constructive in the community, creative in
their endeavours and peaceable.

Members of the Fiji Qualifications Council 2013
The Fiji Qualifications Council is a forum of the FHEC, whose primary role is to
administer the Fiji Qualifications Framework. The Council is governed by the Higher
Education (Qualifications) Regulations 2009. It has six members and a Chairman. The
Council is responsible for accrediting qualifications at levels 1-6 on the FQF and
reviews such qualifications every 5 years to ensure their currency and adherence to
acceptable and relevant standards of teaching and assessment.
The Council held six meetings in 2013.

Committee for the Accreditation of University
Qualifications (CAUQ)
The Committee for the Accreditation of University Qualifications (CAUQ) is a
committee of the Fiji Higher Education Commission. It comprises of the vice
chancellors of the University of the South Pacific, Fiji National University and the
University of Fiji and an independent chairman, Dr. John Harre of New Zealand. The
universities had been established by individual statutes, which to varying degrees
empowered them to approve their own qualifications. However, the power was not
consistent with the statutory responsibilities of the Fiji Higher Education Commission.
For this reason, the Vice-Chancellors negotiated a procedure with the Commission
whereby they took joint responsibility for the approval of new programmes at Level 7
and above. This involved the formation of the CAUQ.
Two meetings of the CAUQ were convened in 2013, including its inaugural meeting
on 20th June.

Overview by Director
The implementation of the Commission’s policies gathered much
momentum during the year as it meant pursuing, expanding and
further developing those activities that had started in the previous
three years as well as taking on new initiatives towards the
achievement of the Commission’s mandated functions and the
outcomes of the Commission’s Strategic Development Plan 2012 2015. The appointment of the Commission’s first Executive Chairman in
July meant a redistribution of tasks at the policy and management
levels to enable a greater emphasis on the Commission’s strategic direction and functions
while ensuring its support by a viable and effective infrastructure.
The processes of the Fiji Qualifications Framework (FQF) expanded into the development of
two additional national qualifications (NQs); the trialing of NQs at two institutions including
the conduct of relevant CBT assessment by industry assessors and the repackaging of
national qualifications at levels 1,2 and 3 upon the advice of the relevant Industry Standards
Advisory Committees (ISACs). The NQs at these levels are intended to be taught at
vocational centres that are attached to secondary schools. For this reason, the Commission
took the initiative to liaise with the Ministry of Education (MoE) to pave the way for the
accreditation of these centres. Such liaison will continue in 2014. The trial of the program
accreditation process was conducted resulting in the successful accreditation of the first
provider program on the FQF.
Related to the FQF’s processes is the establishment of the CAUQ (Committee for the
Accreditation of University Qualifications) in June for the purpose of assessing university
programs in levels 7 -10 of the FQF to determine their eligibility for funding by Government.
The Committee is made up of Fiji’s three Vice Chancellors and an independent Chairman in
Dr John Harre of New Zealand. In his inauguration address, the Minister for Education
considered the CAUQ as evidence of the growth of a trusting relationship among the three
universities, and between the three universities and the Commission. These, he stated,
augured well for the cooperation of the three universities in maintaining academic standards
that were internationally respected among universities.
Another significant achievement was the endorsement by the Cabinet in November of a
transitional implementation mode of the funding model which had been developed in 2012
to govern the allocation of government grants to higher education institutions (HEIs). The
implementation of the model was to begin in 2014. To support this activity, the Commission
established a Finance and Research arm to collect and analyse data, monitor progress and
make recommendations to support the management of the funding system.
In relation to the funding and other operational systems of the Commission, a number of
major ICT improvements were made to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of the
Commission’s processes. These included the upgrading of the office’s server and Record of
Learning database, the upgrading of the telephone system and the purchase of new
laptops for use by the staff to assist them in their work.
9
The Commission’s quality assurance (QA) framework gave rise to policies and guidelines that
were to govern the processes of internal quality assurance (IQA) and external evaluation
and review (EER). The latter is for HEIs and the former is for both the Commission’s secretariat
and the HEIs. For the implementation of these policies, site visits and workshops were
conducted to prepare institutions for the QA processes. Four registered HEIs piloted the
program resulting in reports that were submitted to the institutions for verification before they
were tabled before the Commission. These QA activities were in recognition of the emphasis
currently given to QA in higher education worldwide for the delivery of quality and relevant
higher education. They included the Commission’s representation in April at conferences
and meetings of both the Asia Pacific Quality Network (APQN)and the INQAAHE
(International Network of Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education). The
recommendations from these conferences were considered for implementation one of
which has resulted in the external review of the Commission as a QA agency in December
2014 by the APQN.
The year saw the revision of the Higher Education Promulgation 2008, the Higher Education
Regulations 2009 and the Higher Education (Qualifications) Regulations 2010 to ensure their
currency in a changing higher education environment. While a set of these amendments
were gazetted, the others are likely to be gazetted in 2014.
The level of advocacy activities increased tremendously during the second half of the year
reaching out to rural and urban communities and taking full advantage of the opportunities
offered by various forms of media and media outlets.
Lastly, I acknowledge the sterling effort of the Commission and its committees in providing
direction and advice in the conduct of its various processes. Of course, the achievements
made would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of the staff of
the secretariat.

Industry Standards Advisory Committees (ISACs)
ISACs are made up of people with standing in their various trades and
professions who are appointed by the Commission to develop National
Qualifications in levels 1 to 6 on the Fiji Qualifications Framework (FQF). Their
membership is drawn from industry, professional associations, accrediting
agencies and higher education institutions.
ISAC members are trained and registered by the FHEC. They ensure that
training
and
assessment
meet
industry
requirements
and
that
each
qualification outlines the minimum number of unit standards a learner must
achieve in any particular field.
A total of 23 National Qualifications have been developed by the ISACs and
have been registered on the FQF.
Seven (7) of the National Qualifications were piloted and rolled out at Montfort
Boys Town and Vivekananda Technical Centre in 2013.
The roll out included the assessment of learners under the Competency Based
Assessment model which focuses for any programs on assessment at the
workplace and the provision of evidences of the achievement of the learning
outcomes concerned.
To assess the learners undertaking the National Qualifications at level 4,
registered assessors were consulted and contracted by the FHEC.
