MISINFORMATION ON EXAMINATION SCHEDULE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

17/08/2021

The Ministry of Education, Heritage and Arts wishes to advise students, parents and guardians that they should ignore any speculations and misleading information they come across on social media or any mainstream media about examination schedules.
 
It has been recently brought to our attention that some keyboard warriors are speculating on national and standard examinations for this academic year.  
 
The Ministry has released a number of statements clarifying that examination scheduled earlier released by the Ministry on 30 March 2021 has been recalled as this was pre COVID-19 and before school closure.
 
Updates on school reopening, examination dates and any information relating to schools will be officially announced by the Ministry when necessary.
 
Minister for Education Rosy Akbar says, parents/guardians and students should seek clarification from their Heads of Schools and teachers regarding such matters. These are difficult times and our students are already affected by the pandemic, we do not want to create unnecessary stress through misinformation circulating mostly on social media platforms. If you come across such information, please seek clarification from your schools or the Ministry.
