Cabinet has endorsed the reintroduction of mark scaling across all national examination levels, beginning in the 2026 academic year.
A government statement said the decision aligns with international best practices and aims to ensure a fair and consistent assessment system for all students.
“The reintroduced scaling process will help address disparities in subject difficulty and support balanced academic performance across schools nationwide,” said the statement.
“It is also expected to encourage students to take on more challenging subjects, particularly in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), computer studies, and commerce — areas identified as critical for Fiji’s economic and workforce development.
