Lawmakers Respond to Education Department on New Assessments
The House of Representatives reacted to the Ministry of Education's decision regarding the organization and update of the assessment system at the elementary level. MP Amal Asfour submitted a parliamentary question concerning how well the new amendments align with the psychological and educational needs of children. The amendments included the abolition of the multidisciplinary activity "Discover," an increase in the number of sessions for certain subjects, and the implementation of weekly and monthly assessments that include grades for homework, behavior, and attendance, with a requirement for students to achieve at least 70% in religious education. The MP condemned the ministry's approach, which relies increasingly on early testing. She considered this to potentially negatively impact children's mental health and undermine a learning environment based on play and interaction. She called for an assessment of the effects of frequent evaluations on children and emphasized the importance of developing mechanisms focused on skill development and identifying needs rather than early categorization.
