Dubai: UAE public school students in Grades 4-12 will have their Term 3 examinations from June 8-17, while those in Grades 1-3 will not have to sit for Term 3 exams and will instead be evaluated based on their yearly formative assessment, the Emirates Schools Establishment (ESE) has announced.
Public school students of all cycles will not be tested in Group B subjects at the end of Term 3. They will be evaluated based on their projects delivered between May 30 and June 3.
ESE, the federal entity responsible for enhancing the efficiency of the UAE’s public education sector, said results/grades will be announced during the first week of July.
ESE further said: “The updated guide for Term 3 exams at UAE public schools for the academic year 2020-2021 was made in line with the current situation and without affecting the quality of educational outcome.”
Mock exams for public school students in Grades 4-12 will start on May 23 and will be conducted until May 27 to ensure students are well-prepared and to avoid any technical issues that may occur, ESE noted.
It added: “In the event of any technical error that prevents any student from finishing the exam on time or due to a justified absence, make-up exams will be held from June 20 to June 24. ESE will continue to provide all the necessary technical and academic support to students to ensure that they complete the exams without any obstacles.”
Exams for students of determination
ESE said students of determination, who follow an individual educational plan curriculum and examinations modification, will be evaluated by their subject teachers, in coordination with the special education teacher in the school, so that the exam can be prepared according to the individual educational plan. As for students of determination, who follow an individual educational plan adaptation, they will undergo the same online examination as the rest of the students.
