Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has announced that the Cabinet has approved public consultations aimed at potentially reintroducing a scaling system for national examinations at both primary and secondary education levels. In a recent statement, PM Rabuka indicated that a final decision regarding the reimplementation of scaling will be made following the outcomes of these consultations.
The scaling system was originally established in 1979 for the Fiji Seventh Form Certificate Examination and in 1989 for the Fiji School Leaving Certificate Examination, serving as a systematic approach to ensure subject equivalence. However, this system was abolished in 2015.
