Manama: Bahrain public school students can check their exam results online, the education ministry said.

The service is available on the webstie and through smart phones, allowing both students and parents to have easy access to the grades, Ahmad Al Hammad, the head of the ministry's IT, has said.

"Students can also print the graduation certificate online to help them start processing their papers," he said. "We have launched the services as we are particularly keen on contributing to the establishment of information technology-based society," he said.

The results of the high school first semester exams were endorsed by the minister on Monday.
