The Education Ministry in Fiji has reported an 86 percent pass rate for the Year 13 Certificate Examination this year, a slight decrease from the 91 percent recorded in 2023. Despite this drop, Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro commended schools that have shown improvement in their overall performance.
Notably, two government schools—Adi Cakobau School and Vunisea Secondary—made significant advancements in their Y13 results. Adi Cakobau School improved its pass rate from 97 percent to 98 percent, while Vunisea Secondary saw a remarkable increase from 83 percent to 97 percent.
Additionally, Minister Radrodro expressed appreciation for ten secondary schools that achieved a perfect 100 percent pass rate. These schools include Nadarivatu Secondary, Nilsen High, Tavua District Secondary, Rt. Finau Secondary, South Taveuni Secondary, Nasesevia Secondary, Valebasoga Secondary, Duavata Secondary, Rewa Secondary, and Jai Narayan College.
Radrodro encouraged parents and guardians to engage their children in discussions about their results, emphasizing the importance of support as students decide on their next steps—whether that be higher education, vocational training, or entering the workforce. He stressed the value of collaboration among teachers, students, and parents, acknowledging their collective efforts reflected in the results.
Looking forward, the Education Minister urged students pursuing further education to remain focused on their academic goals and to strive for excellence in their studies.
This year’s examination results serve as a reminder of the dedication required in the educational journey. It’s a testament to the resilience and commitment of both students and educators. With continued support from families and communities, students can navigate their futures with confidence and success.
