Teachers Syndicate head Nima Mahfoud confirmed, “If the situation calms down a little, we are heading to hold official exams.”
He announced in a television interview that, “It was agreed with the Minister of Education, Rima Karami, to extend the school year for two or three weeks so that students who learned remotely can continue their studies in person, so that there is equality among all students.”
Mahfoud pointed out, “The educational loss since 2019 has been very large, and we are trying to preserve what is left of this sector.”
