Al-Sayigh Criticizes Exam Cancellation as Education Heresy
The article discusses Deputy Sulaim Al-Saigh's reaction to the decision to cancel the official exams in Lebanon, which he considered a "educational heresy" because it equates all students to failure and diminishes the value of the official certificate, which had been used for years as a means to assess students' levels and facilitate their entry into universities and the labor market. He emphasized that the passing rate for the current certificate is high (around 90%) and that the system aims to measure students’ true skills and competencies. He explained that this decision is made by the Ministry of Education, not the Parliament, and that it has caused divisions within the parliamentary Education Committee, which proposed relying on school grades and keeping the baccalaureate optional, but the government preferred to rely solely on reports. Al-Saigh called for conducting the exams again next year to ensure a fair and transparent assessment, affirming that the decision to cancel them threatens the quality of education and undermines the principle of professional evaluation for the academic year.
