International school Arabic and history mandates improve middle school outcomes
Results of the preparatory certificate exams in private and international schools have seen a significant decline over the past three years, with success rates dropping from 91.8% in 2024 to 71.9% in 2026, despite an increase in the number of students from approximately 21,909 to 23,711. The Ministry of Education confirmed that efforts are being made to organize work within international schools, including mandatory instruction in national identity subjects, with their grades counted toward the total score. Additionally, measures are being taken to curb the phenomenon of homeschooling, along with regulations for transferring to international schools that follow specialized curricula. Starting from 2026, applications for transferring from public schools to the third grade of secondary school will be suspended.
