Dubai: Kuwait’s Ministry of Education has suspended all kinds of exams, both paper and online, in the new academic year (2020-2021) for all educational classes until students are able to physically attend schools, Al Rai Newspaper reported quoting a source from the educational sector.

The daily said the Public Education Sector has asked the general instructors to prepare proposals on the evaluation mechanism for intermediate and high school students, which will most likely be as follows: 25 per cent each for attendance, participation, duties and reports.

The source clarified there will be no evaluation for kindergarten and primary school students, and their classes will be in the form of televised lessons displayed in the evening on Kuwait TV.
