The Ministry of Education is preparing to submit to Cabinet a paper on the No-Repeat Policy for Automatic Progression for consideration.
This was highlighted by Education Minister Aseri Radrodro in his response to the 2025/2026 National Budget in Parliament, saying that they have reviewed the examination results over the past years, and they see the necessity to review the current practice of automatic progression for students.
Radrodro acknowledged the Budget allocation given to the School Management Association of $500,000, the Principal and Heads of Teachers Association $300,000 each.
He says the Ministry will ensure that proper checks and balances are in place to address accountability and transparency in the way the funds are used.
The Minister says the heartbeat of the education system is the curriculum, and the Ministry, with a team of experts, will initiate a review of the National Curriculum Framework, with a budget of $33,000.
He says this will be done in consultation with the education commissioners and education stakeholders to address the raised concerns on the relevance of the current curriculum.
He adds that the current framework was last reviewed in 2013, and it is now proper that it undergoes another review after a lapse of more than a decade.
