The Fijian Teachers Association is currently awaiting the decision of the Vice Chancellor of Fiji National University, Doctor Ganesh Chand after the sacking of senior lecturer, Pita Waqawai.
Fijivillage has received confirmation that Waqawai who was also the President of the FTA Fiji National University branch, was sacked for misusing institutional facilities for purposes that was not related to the FNU.
