Automatic progression has created culture of complacency among students - Radrodro

Over the past years automatic progression has created a culture of complacency amongst students, teachers and parents, therefore the Ministry of Education will conduct consultations to repeal the system.

Minister for Education, Aseri Radrodro has highlighted this and says that students may not feel the need to put in the required effort to achieve academic excellence, as their promotion to the next grade is guaranteed regardless of their performance.

He says the Ministry will be conducting a National Consultation in collaboration with the relevant education stakeholders which includes parents, guardians, teachers, student representatives, Heads of Schools, Teacher Unions, Tertiary Institutions, Parents Teachers Association, School Management Associations, Faith Based Organisations, Education partners and Statutory Bodies.

Radrodro says this will allow stakeholders from various backgrounds to share their insights and experiences and engaging different stakeholders ensures that voices are heard and considered, leading to more equitable policy outcomes.

He says this will provide an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss and evaluate the potential impacts, both positive and negative, of the ‘No Repeat Policy’ on different segments of society.

The National Consultation will be held at the Suva Grammar School Hall on Thursday from 9am-12pm.

The objective of repealing automatic progression from the education system is to ensure that students achieve the learning outcomes and competencies of a particular level before advancing to the next academic level.
