The Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Affairs at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Fawzia Al Khater, said the Ministry will take into account the current situation of level-12 students while preparing questions and setting time duration for their examinations.
“The current circumstances of the students will be taken into account in terms of the timing of the tests and questions. All secondary schools were directed to provide the students with adequate support, give them review questions, and prepare experimental tests for them,” Al Khater said.
Speaking in a video circulated on twitter, she pointed out that parents should not make their children fear about their exams. They should also follow lessons with their children, as this will make it easier for students to study and perform well in the exam. We are in a special circumstance that requires us to reassure students. Assistant Undersecretary has urged students to follow-up video lessons, adding that the Ministry is working with an educational institution to prepare good lessons for students of level 12 and students can benefit from it.
She also noted that students are currently spending most of their time at home and they should take advantage of this time. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education is working with a number of institutions, including the Doha Film Institute to create a competition for all students to urge them to produce films.
“The goal is that the student utilise their time in doing good things. Education is not necessarily through lessons, but through other enriching activities,” she said.
Al khater has called on all students to take part in these competitions so that they learn to rely on themselves.
