Radrodro says students have worked hard throughout the year, and the examinations are an opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
He reminds students that while examinations are an important part of their education, their results do not define who they are or determine their entire future.
The Minister encourages students to remain confident, manage their time wisely and not give up when faced with difficult questions.
Radrodro says students should also remember that there are many opportunities available after Year 13, including university studies, technical and vocational education, employment and entrepreneurship.
He also acknowledges the hard work and support of teachers, school leaders, parents and guardians in preparing students for this important stage of their education.
The examinations will continue until next Friday.
