The decision last week by the Ministry of Education (MoE) to allow schools to conduct paper exams and set dates for the resumption of classes from September has been widely welcomed by many people.
Ministry of Education has reportedly begun extensive meetings to finalize the procedures for setting exams, counting the number of students who will take the exams and inviting them, as well as educational and administrative bodies, to register to receive the Corona vaccine.
The MoE decision is especially welcome news to Indian schools in Kuwait who had earlier requested the MoE to allow them to conduct in-person paper examinations for students appearing for their board exams. They had pointed out that students appearing for board exams were at risk of losing an academic year if they failed to take the annual written examinations on time.
For her part, President of the Federation of Foreign Schools, Noura Al-Ghanem, said that the paper-based tests approved by the Council of Ministers for foreign schools include all the grades associated with all international academic accreditation bodies.
