Shafaq News / Thousands of students in Al-Muthanna Province headed to their schools to complete their mid-term exams today.

"Thousands of primary school students in Al-Muthanna governorate went to their schools this morning to take the supplementary exams and the remaining mid-term exams, a local source told Shafaq News Agency.

The source pointed out that “school administrations took the necessary preventive measures to prevent the outbreak of Corona virus, according to the directions of the crisis cell in the governorate and the province's education directorate."

The students of the southern governorates did not take mid-term exams for the current academic year because of the popular protests that erupted since October 2019.

Yesterday, Muthanna Education Directorate announced the issuance of directions for school administrations to start exams for every 10 students in one exam hall and prevent gatherings in schoolyards, while noting that it had given authorities the departments to conduct supplementary exams in more than two days.

The Ministry of Education announced Friday, that the Cabinet had agreed to suspend the general exams for the 6^th grade of primary school for the current academic year, and to adopt the mid-term grades as a grade of success from the stage, and to allow students who failed to take the second round exams later in all the subjects that they failed in.
