Mid-term exams cancelled, but final exams are still on

In Egypt mid-term university exams have been cancelled but second-semester exams are still on, although study will not resume until the end of the coronavirus outbreak, Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, minister of higher education and scientific research, said last Monday, writes Bassant Mohammed for Daily News Egypt.

Final exams are to be held at the end of May. There is a possibility of postponing the exams until September or the end of the year if the crisis carries on, Abdel Ghaffar said during a televised phone interview.

He stressed that students have no option but to take final exams to pass the academic year. He added that there is no need to take an immediate decision for what may happen in the next few months, but the ministry has taken into account all possibilities and scenarios.
