Fiji Teachers Union general secretary, Muniappa Goundar gave his thoughts on the proposal to bring back exams for students in these levels

He said exams were scrapped for these levels during the tenure of the former Minister for Education, Heritage and Arts, Premila Kumar.

She had highlighted that this was done to focus on the child’s early stages of learning, knowledge building, enhancing numeracy and literacy skills.

This led to the introduction of a new curriculum, Civics and Moral Education, for Years One to Three, to allow important values to be learnt at a young age for students.
