These exceptional 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.
The Minister urged parents and guardians to maintain open dialogue with their children regarding their examination outcomes. He emphasized the importance of supporting students as they make crucial decisions about their futures, whether that involves further education, vocational training, or entering the workforce. Radrodro acknowledged the collective effort of teachers, students, and parents, which is reflected in the results, and he looks forward to ongoing collaboration to foster academic success.
In conclusion, while the pass rate has experienced a minor decline, the improvements seen in several institutions highlight the dedication and hard work within Fiji’s education system. This encourages a hopeful outlook for future examinations, showing that schools are continually striving for excellence.
