Rabuka also shared his journey and how he had failed his University entrance examination.

He also recalled a 40-minute discussion during his time in government between 1992 and 1999 on what they would do about a school dropout.

Rabuka says he had this discussion with the then Education Minister and former teachers.

“The definition of the school dropout then fitted me perfectly.” I didn’t go on to tertiary education. I failed the university entrance exam not once but twice. So I told them to persevere for those who had failed; some of them could become ministers, even prime ministers.”

The Prime Minister has also congratulated the school for performing well in their examinations.
