The Fiji National Provident Fund has banned students at private tertiary institutes from funding under its education withdrawal assistance.
The FNPF says this is after a range of complaints were received from members against some institutions.
Acting chief executive officer Joji Koroi said some have enrolled bogus students and fees have been paid out from the FNPF and then the funds shared by the member and those running the institution.
These cases he said, now have to be investigated.
FNPF will only accept requests from the Fiji National University (FNU), which includes what was previously known as FIT, FSM, FSN, Lautoka Teachers College and Fiji Collage of Advance Education together with USP, University of Fiji and TPAF.
Koroi said that while the change in policy was unfortunate, the Fund needs to be sure those members funds are used prudently in line with their obligation.
