The Ministry of Education is expected to cancel all external matriculation exams scheduled for next week across the country, due to the security situation. According to the apparent decision, high school students will not be required to take the matriculation exams in various subjects, including biology, physics, English, and civics.
Instead of external exams, students’ internal grades, known as “protective grades” and based on their achievements throughout the year, including tests, assignments, and participation, will be considered their final matriculation grade. The decision means that no alternative dates will be set for the canceled exams and no special completion plan will be formulated.
However, students who are interested will be able to take the matriculation exam in the relevant subject in the future to improve their score. For most students, the decision is expected to complete the matriculation eligibility process based on the grades already assigned to them within the school framework.
