Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has announced that the Cabinet has approved plans to conduct public consultations regarding the potential reintroduction of scaling in national examinations at both the primary and secondary school levels. In a statement, PM Rabuka indicated that the decision to reinstate scaling will be made following the consultation process. The scaling system was first implemented in 1979 for the Fiji Seventh Form Certificate Examination and in 1989 for the Fiji School Leaving Certificate Examination as a standardized approach to ensure subject equivalence. This system was discontinued in 2015.
