Throughout this year, the Education Ministry has been very pro-active in raising awareness in schools to raise standards and improve on quality passes.
These awareness programmes include, school visits, radio programmes, guests on talk back shows and media releases, which are sent to the mainstream media and to all schools accessible by e-mail.
While examinations are high on the agenda for all secondary schools, primary schools have started reaping the rewards of their labour.
Primary schools and families around the country have organised their own way of celebrating their achievements and the Ministry of Education extends its congratulations to all primary school students for their hardwork.
This is the Ministry’s way of giving credit where it is due and in this regard, the Education Ministry extends its sincere gratitude and hearty congratulations to the TOP 10 achievers in the 2009 Fiji Eighth Year Examinations.
These are the nation’s top 10 achievers, whose marks range from 489 to 495 out of 500.
