Balata College in Tavua proudly announced a remarkable 100 percent pass rate in the Year 13 Certificate Exam for 2025. This achievement places the institution among several rural schools acknowledged by the Ministry of Education for reaching this significant milestone.
School principal Umendran Reddy expressed immense pride in the students’ accomplishment, attributing their success to the dedication of students, parents, and teachers. He highlighted the countless hours teachers invested in tutoring and supervising students in the months leading up to the exams. “Our teachers diligently spent afternoons and Saturdays helping our students prepare,” Mr. Reddy noted.
The principal also extended appreciation to the Ministry of Education for its continuous support, emphasizing that their assistance has played a crucial role in enhancing the school’s academic performance over the years. “I want to thank the ministry for always answering our calls for assistance and for encouraging us to improve our academic performance every year,” he stated.
