Education Ministry Adjusts Exam Dates to Accommodate Parliamentary Elections
The Ministry of Education moved the second term final exams for grades 7, 8 and 9 from 16–27 April to start on 27 March to avoid clashing with parliamentary elections confirmed for 21 April. Schools were instructed by circular to coordinate with Elections Commission focal points, particularly for exams on 20 April, while the election date itself was shifted from 17 March to 21 April after an amendment required polls at least ten days after Ramadan.
