The start date of the first semester exams for students
The guide «Policy of evaluating student performance and the controls of applying exams for the academic year 2022-2023, December 5, set the date for the start of the exams of the end of the first semester of the current academic year, and the exams continue until the ninth of the same month.
Continuation of the formative assessment process during the semester
The guide, which was adopted by the Emirates Foundation for School Education, recently mentioned the start of compensatory tests for those absent with an excuse for the basic exams on December 12, and will continue until the 16th of the same month, stressing the need to continue the formative evaluation process during the semester in accordance with the teacher's guide, as well as the application of the end of the first semester exams for grades five to 12 for basic subjects (Islamic education, social studies, and health sciences) during the period from November 25 to November 29 of the same month, with the school day continuing normally.
For 12th graders
The guide also explained for 12th grade students that all their exams in public general education schools apply to the students of special education applied to the curriculum of the Ministry of Education, except for subjects (Islamic education, social studies, and health sciences), where they are applied in their schools under the supervision and coordination with the school branches, indicating that the compensatory exam is offered to absent students an acceptable excuse for the end-of-term exams.
How to deal with certain special cases during the test
The guide included the mechanism of dealing with some special cases during the test. In the case of students who are fed in two doses or who have the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, are not vaccinated, or who have a medical exception, exams are conducted in attendance for school students (restaurants and non-vaccinated), while adhering to the examinations according to the directives of the private authorities. For students of determination, the student's condition is studied and determines whether the case allows the student to attend realistically to perform the test. If the student's condition does not allow him to attend, a special committee will be allocated to test the student remotely, with the need to open the camera and set a specific timing for the test.
In the case of students outside the country or in the treatment phase
In the case of students outside the country or in a treatment stage, their health conditions are studied, and if the student is able to perform the test, it is applied remotely, after the formation of a special committee with the need to open the camera. If the student's health condition does not allow to take the test, a copy of the compensatory test will be prepared according to
In the case of injured and contacted students, the compensatory test option is placed after studying the student's eligibility and the type of challenge he faces. In the event of weakness of the network and the lack of devices among some students, computers (if any), or a suitable scheduling is set to activate computer labs at the school with an offline option, to solve the test. If this cannot be applied, hard copies are used to perform the test, with the need to wear gloves during the circulation of paper exams, and precautionary measures apply.
