In a statement, the Ministry of Education said makeup exams for students in Grade 4-12 will run from January 10 to 14.

It stated that the tests are mandatory for all students who were unable to sit them in the first semester.

The exams, however, are voluntary for pupils who want to improve their results in Arabic, English, Mathematics, General Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Health Sciences.

The Ministry stressed that tests for Grade 4-11 will be conducted remotely, while those for Grade 12 will be held at schools.
