International schools seek final year exemption from adding identity subjects to scores
The representative of international schools requested an exemption for the final year from adding identity subjects to the total score of the international certificates, citing the rising operational costs, salaries, and examination expenses. These identity subjects have been taught since 1993 and are included in the curriculum. They are requesting that identity subjects, which include Arabic and History, not be added to the final score for the last year of the baccalaureate, as this would increase the number of subjects to 10 or 12, thereby impacting the schools' costs. The Minister of Education and Higher Education confirmed that national identity subjects will be counted within the total starting from 2024, noting that some schools still consider these subjects outside the total to be of lesser importance, which raises concerns about how the importance of Arabic language and History is being assessed.
