Moe Insists On Health Protocols For Mid-term Exams
Ministry of Education (MoE) has announced that all students appearing from next week for mid-term exams of the current 2021/2022 scholastic year, will have to present a negative PCR test certificate, or a printed vaccination certificate, before being allowed to enter the examination halls.
Al-Jarida said, mobile phones and similar devices are forbidden and the education sources said those students who do not comply with these conditions will not be allowed to answer the test.
In addition, students who have not yet received their vaccination will have to produce a PCR test certificate on a weekly basis during the examination period. Students will also be required to wear face masks throughout the time they spend in school and to avoid gatherings.
The ministry noted that the examination committees are also ensuring that students are seated at least one meter apart on all sides from their colleagues in the examination hall, as well as providing sterilization tools and thermal devices at the entrances to schools.
Intermediate and secondary school administrations have been asked by the MoE to be firm in applying the health requirements on everyone arriving in the school, including students, teachers, other school staff and parents coming into school premises. Meanwhile, it was also disclosed that the concerned authorities at MoE have not decided on whether to switch to online learning from the second semester in view of the spread of a new variant of the Coronavirus in Kuwait.
Refuting rumors appearing on social media platforms in recent days, the ministry noted in a statement that any decision on the matter would be coordinated with the Ministry of Health through the joint ministerial committee tasked with curbing the spread of COVID-19.
The present system of weekly alternating study groups’ will continue as it takes into consideration the students’ academic needs and health, said the ministry statement. The ministry added that rather than paying heed to rumors, students should only rely on official announcements, and in the meantime focus on their final exams.
