Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka announced that the Cabinet has decided to conduct public consultations regarding the potential reintroduction of scaling in national examinations for both primary and secondary schools. In his statement, PM Rabuka indicated that a decision on this matter will be made following the consultation process. He explained that 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 method to ensure fairness among subjects. This system was discontinued in 2015.
