Teaching is more than just a profession, it is a calling, says Ella Bennion.
The Fiji National University (FNU) manager outreach said this during the 2025 Special Education Teachers’ Workshop at the FNU Namaka Campus in Nadi last Friday.
The workshop was an opportunity for teachers to discuss the challenges faced by students and learn about the FNU Disability Resource Centre and the services it provides for students with disabilities who wish to study at FNU.
