Cabinet endorses public consultations on reintroducing scaling in national exams

The Cabinet has endorsed public consultations to be undertaken on the intention to reintroduce scaling in national examinations at both primary and secondary school levels.

The Cabinet say a decision on the reintroduction of scaling will be taken after the public consultation process.

They say the scaling system was introduced in 1979 for the Fiji Seventh Form Certificate Examination and in 1989 for the Fiji School Leaving Certificate Examination as a principled method of addressing subject equivalence.

They add scaling was removed in 2015.
