Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka announced that the Cabinet has decided to conduct public consultations regarding the potential reintroduction of scaling in national examinations at both primary and secondary school levels. In his statement, PM Rabuka indicated that a final decision on this matter will be made following the completion of the consultation process. He explained that the scaling system was initially implemented in 1979 for the Fiji Seventh Form Certificate Examination and in 1989 for the Fiji School Leaving Certificate Examination as a fair approach to ensure subject equivalence. However, the system was abolished in 2015.
