The Kuwaiti Ministry of Education cancelled the Islamic education exam on Monday after its questions and answers circulated on social media.

Following the leak, senior education officials visited the exam paper printing house to verify the leak and decided to postpone the Islamic education test.

Last month, a Kuwaiti court sentenced three defendants, including an expatriate, to five years in prison each for involvement in a high school examination leak.
