Cairo: Kuwait postponed their examination for those who caught COVID-19 in Kuwait, and the examination will start from next Sunday, a week later, after the school reopened in the country.
According to the sources, students who belong to intermediate and secondary schools will be allowed to sit in exams on Sunday.
It added that schools made instruction to provide special classrooms amid health precautions to use them as exam boards for those students.
The Education Ministry is still studying the possible way in order to revive the schools’ return to full capacity to exchange with the current system that distributes the students attendance over two groups.
Even in these regards, “officials set up many meetings in this regard,” and as per sources, it is expected to take decision-related to this meeting and most probably to the next week. A rotating class system has been in force in Kuwait since last October as part of protection to shrink the spread of COVID-19.
Last Sunday, nearly thousands of students came back to classes in Kuwait for their second semester after the end of the mid-year holiday. The teachers who are not vaccinated and students who are above the age of 16 need to show their negative coronavirus-detecting PCR test results to be allowed.
The second semester of school in Kuwait was initially scheduled to start on February 13. However, Education Ministry postponed the dates and scheduled it to March 6 for a public holiday marking Independence Day, Liberation Day, and Al Israa.
The administration has already pitched this requirement for schoolchildren under 16.
In February, the Kuwaiti government lifted all restrictions related to coronavirus and relaxed the travel curbs after a significant decline in infection rates.
Accordingly, unvaccinated people can enter malls, cinemas and theatres only if they have negative PCR results.
Social gatherings indoor and outdoor places with total public transport capacity are also allowed in compliance with health requirements. Physical distancing in mosques has been cancelled.
