A ministry
source said that the education development plan includes recommendations which
cover all educational levels, starting from preschool to completing
university. The education reform strategy is comprehensive, but it is still
under discussion by a Cabinet committee, the source added.
In a separate
development, the head of the ministry’s Testing Directorate, Mohammed
Al-Kenana, said that initial signs on the
Tawjihi results “is very promising”.
He said some
students got full marks in the subjects which have been corrected so far, a local
media outlet reported.
Kenana affirmed
that the vast majority of high school students are compliant with exam
instructions, but noted that there are some irregularities at an acceptable
level. He added that the Ministry of Education reviews all remarks related to
Tawjihi exams.
Commenting on some
purported violations committed during the exams, namely the use of mobile
phones, he said there were 230 such violations,
which resulted “in the denial of two examination courses”.
