Tawjihi exam to be held online this year
Education Minister Azmi Muhafeza announced that the General Secondary Examination (Tawjihi) will be held electronically this year as part of the ministry’s plan to shift to computerized exams. The ministry has established testing centers equipped to conduct exams in multiple sessions throughout the year. Last year, pilot tests involving around 17,000 students were conducted to ensure the system's readiness. Currently, the ministry is working to increase capacity to approximately 55,000 students by providing an additional 18,000 to 20,000 devices. The exams are presently scheduled in two periods—June and July—with an additional December cycle, and there is potential to introduce a third period. This aims to give students greater flexibility in taking and retaking subjects if needed. The exam schedule is coordinated with university admission deadlines, with the goal of releasing 12th-grade results between June and September, although extensions or reapplications are possible. Final scores are calculated out of 100%. This transition is part of a new general secondary education system that separates the high school diploma from university entrance exams, allowing subjects to be spread across different periods.
