High school examinations for second term to be held in Kuwait.
Here's the rewritten article:
Get ready for the second semester exams! The Ministry of Education has unveiled the schedule for students in grades 10, 11, and 12, and it's about to get real. According to the Minister, Mansour Al-Dhafiri, the exams will kick off soon for these grades, covering science, literature, religious education, and even homeschool students.
For students in grades 10 and 11 (science and literature streams), the exams start on May 21, while the grade 12 bunch will take their exams from June 11 onwards. Grade 12 religious education students, though, will start earlier—from June 1 itself.
Al-Dhafiri shared that every exam will have an extra 15 minutes added to it, giving students extra time to go through instructions and check their exam papers. A fantastic move for those who need a bit of extra time, students with learning difficulties will receive a 30-minute extension for all subjects. This decision aligns with the guidelines set by the General Guidance Council.
Fun fact: This isn't the first time the Ministry of Education has shaken things up. For example, the start date for the control center for science, arts, and religious education sections moved to April 13 from an earlier date. Additionally, school administrations need to fetch and review the lists of eligible twelfth-grade students for final exams by April 17. There are also standardized exams scheduled from May 11 to May 15 for off-schedule subjects like Quran, Constitution, and Human Rights for all students, including homeschool students.
Just a heads up, if any certificates are missing for private or homeschool students, an equivalency certificate from the Private Education Department’s Certificate Equivalency Department needs to be attached. For religious education certificates, a curriculum system certificate or the result of the equivalency exam must be provided.
These updates are part of the Ministry's ongoing initiatives to simplify the examination process and comply with Ministerial Resolution No. 115/2025. Keep calm and study on, folks!
Students can utilize education-and-self-development resources for effective learning during these second semester exams. The Ministry of Education's schedule includes extensions for students with learning difficulties, offering them additional time for extra assistance.
