Speaking on Public Security Radio, Kenana said that the ministry is committed to implementing Defense Order 35, which makes it compulsory on anyone wishing to enter official institutions to have two doses of corona vaccine, noting that high school halls are considered official government intuitions.

Students who have an excuse for not taking the vaccine must submit it to the ministry, which will subsequently take a decision.

Kenana said that about 40-50 percent of the questions in Arabic, English, and mathematics will be essays, and the rest of subjects will be multiple choice.

Kenana added that industrial drawing questions will be 100 percent essays, while the rest of the subjects will be multiple choice.

Tawjihi examinations will start on June 30.
