The Ministry of Education has decided to provide alternative assessments for students of private schools that apply the British and the International Baccalaureate curriculums during the current academic year.

The Ministry posted the information on its social media accounts.

It affirmed that the move reflects confidence in private international schools' ability to prepare or adopt solid methodologies that benefit from their long experience in evaluation procedures.
