12,406 Year 12 students set to begin national exams

A total of 12,406 Year 12 students across Fiji will begin their national examinations tomorrow, November 11.

The Fiji Year 12 Certificate Examination (FY12CE) will begin with the English paper on Wednesday.

In his message to students, Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro encouraged them to remain calm, trust their preparation and approach each examination with confidence.

He reminded students that their academic results would not determine their entire future, with opportunities available beyond the examination room.

Mr Radrodro said students could pursue different pathways, including university studies, technical and vocational education, employment, entrepreneurship and agriculture.

He encouraged students to believe in their abilities and recognise the work they had put into preparing for the examinations.

Recalling his message during a recent Dedication Service, Mr Radrodro said:

“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.”

He also acknowledged the dedication and sacrifices of teachers, parents and guardians who had supported students throughout the academic year.

Mr Radrodro urged students not to allow fear or examination pressure to overshadow their preparation.

He encouraged them to read questions carefully, manage their time and give their best effort in every paper.

The Minister extended his best wishes to all Year 12 students, encouraging them to remain focused and confident throughout the examination period.
