Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama this week proudly proclaimed to the students of the Fiji National University that since 2014 his government had assisted more than 22,000 FNU students through the TELS and Toppers schemes.
He was speaking as chief guest at the FNU Students Association Multicultural event held at the College of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry in Koronivia on Monday.
While the bald statistics thus stated may sound impressive, the stark realities behind the Toppers and TELS schemes is not something a government should be proud of.
