Year 8 exam results out tomorrow, 69% pass rate

Fiji’s Year 8 Examination provisional results will be released tomorrow, with the nationwide pass rate holding steady at 69 per cent, the Ministry of Education has confirmed.

Minister for Education Aseri Radrodro said 18,628 students sat the Fiji Year 8 Examination (FY8E) this year out of 19,007 registered candidates, achieving the same overall pass rate recorded in 2024.

“I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Year 8 students for their dedication, hard work and perseverance, given the numerous challenges that you must have faced throughout your academic journey while preparing for the Fiji Year 8 Examination,” he said.

Heads of schools, teachers, school managements, parents and guardians were also acknowledged for their “professionalism, dedication, and tireless effort.”

More Schools Achieve Perfect Pass Rates

The Minister highlighted a significant improvement in school-level performance.
105 primary schools recorded a 100 per cent pass rate this year — a notable rise from 87 schools in 2024.

“While overall performance remained steady, several positive gains were achieved this year, including improved results for male students, better performance in rural schools, and improved achievement in a number of subjects,” Mr Radrodro said.

Recounts, Remarks and New Policy

Students who wish to apply for a recount or remark have 30 days to do so and can lodge applications at the Examinations and Assessment Office at Gohil Building or their nearest District Education Office.

The Minister also reminded parents and students of Cabinet’s endorsement of the Student Progression and Retention Policy in October.

“Hence, I encourage students who have not passed the FY8E to consider repeat as an option. This is not a setback, but an opportunity to build stronger foundations with confidence and determination before progressing further,” he said.
