A total of 12,406 Year 12 students across Fiji will sit their first Fiji Year 12 Certificate Examination today with Education Minister Aseri Radrodro encouraging students to remain calm, trust their preparation and approach the examinations with confidence.
In a message to the students, Mr Radrodro reminded students not to allow fear or examination pressure to undermine their efforts.
“Your examination results do not define who you are or determine your entire future,” he said.
He reminded students that opportunities extended beyond university education, with pathways also available through technical and vocational training, employment, entrepreneurship and agriculture.
“Your journey is your own. Believe in the work you have done. Believe in the support around you and, most importantly, have faith in your work.”
The examinations begin today with the English paper and will run until November 23. Last year’s examination recorded a 74 per cent pass rate, with 12,020 students sitting the assessment, compared with a 76 per cent pass rate in 2024.
