Why is it so reasonable?

Free Bird Institute was established with a unique concept. Like the education in other western countries, people had high motivation in education. As a result, the education fee had increased in Fiji. However, the decline in birth rate started in 2000, which leads to the situation that there are only 500 students in the school of 800 student capacity.

Therefore, half of the school building was closed with cobwebs. The school teachers had to work at restaurants and Hotels even though they are qualified and had graduated from universities. Free Bird Institute proposed for school establishment using the abandoned school buildings and employing the teachers who were supposed to be working at schools to Fiji government, then got an approval.

The World Happiest country=Paradise Fiji

In addition, FBI developed Homestay homes where students can experience high level of hospitality from Fijians who have the highest index of happiness in the world. (By Leger Marketing in Canada, December 2014) The high level of Fijians' hospitality is also chosen and featured every year by the book of Lonely Planet and this is something we should really admire. Students in FBI learn not only English but also "What is happiness?" while experiencing Fijian hospitality.
