Cristoffer Chand celebrates a milestone today as he graduates with his Master’s in Education, with another special celebration awaiting him this Friday—his birthday.

As a full-time Lecturer in Automotive at the Fiji National University’s School of Transport, Cristoffer’s journey reflects a deep commitment to lifelong learning.

From completing his bachelor’s to his Postgraduate studies, and now his Master’s, he has continually embraced growth not just for personal achievement, but to become a better educator for his students.

Balancing full-time teaching with evening classes from 7pm to 9pm was no easy feat. Long days in the classroom were followed by nights of study, often at the expense of personal time.

Cristoffer credits his family’s patience and support as a crucial part of his journey.
