It said the comments were made by the ministry’s
director of the Examinations and Tests Department,
Mohammad Al-Kinana, who said
that private schools, and those run by the UN agency caring for Palestinian
refugees should tackle the weaknesses on their own.
Kinana said that the ministry issued a circular for
the educational supervisors across various directorates to follow up with the
schools, where weaknesses were detected, and to supervise the application of
the recovery plans with teachers in each school.
The results of the national test on the quality of
education for eighth grade students for the academic year 2021–2022 revealed a
decrease in the level of students’ performance specifically in mathematics.
It showed that the average for all schools reached
34 percent in print tests, and 37 percent for online. It said that girls
exhibited better results than boys.
The test targeted public and private schools,
military culture schools and UNRWA schools, and included Arabic and English
languages, mathematics and science subjects, through a number of
multiple-choice questions covering all pillars, basic learning skills, and
special outcomes for each subject.
The printed test was taken by 138,174 boys and
girls, while 14,119 participated online. It aims to provide teachers with information
about their students’ strengths and weaknesses, help them follow up with the
students, identify areas of progress, and improve their learning, in addition
to providing decision makers with information about the quality of education.
The average performance of students in the Kingdom
in the Arabic language was 46 percent for the printed test, and 51 percent
online. The result for the English language test was 44 percent in the printed
form, and 50 percent online.
