Technical Glitch Disrupts Physics Exam Submission for Students
An unexpected technical failure delays exam paper submissions across various schools nationwide.
A technical malfunction hindered students from submitting their physics examination papers, causing significant delays.
After completing their exams, students were required to remain in examination rooms for nearly an hour past the scheduled end time, until school administrations permitted their exit.
School administrations acknowledged the incident, confirming that students encountered issues while attempting to submit their examination papers due to an unforeseen technical glitch, which prevented them from leaving at the scheduled time according to the exam timetable.
The Ministry of Education reported a variety of technical issues during the final examinations for the second semester in the subject of physics, as conveyed by certain public and private schools following the ministry's curriculum.
In response, the ministry outlined that it has taken immediate steps to address the technical difficulties in collaboration with relevant parties, successfully resolving most reported technical problems through its CRM system.
Additionally, a toll-free number and an email address have been established for students and schools to contact technical support teams for assistance during the examination period.
The ministry emphasized its commitment to coordinating with partners to prevent further technical challenges in upcoming examinations.
Students who were unable to complete their examinations due to these issues will be identified through the system, enabling them the opportunity to partake in compensatory examinations designed specifically for those with valid absences or those who faced technical difficulties during the tests.
On the same day, twelfth-grade students across all academic tracks, including general, advanced, and elite, in government and private schools adhering to the Ministry of Education’s curriculum, undertook their final examinations for the second semester of the 2024-2025 academic year in the subject of physics.
The examination questions were reported to be directly related to the curriculum and included a mix of straightforward and unexpected challenges.
Feedback from students regarding the physics exam indicated a divergence of opinions, particularly concerning the difficulty of two specific questions: one pertaining to current and resistance, and the other to Kirchhoff’s laws for direct current circuits.
These questions required specialized skills for adequate response.
It was stated that approximately 70% of the examination covered the third unit on voltage, while the remaining 30% included questions from the broader curriculum for the current semester.
Students reported that the electronic examination format did not necessitate additional time for answering or reviewing questions, whereas the paper exam did require more time due to the nature of the questions, which often necessitated intensive focus to ascertain correct answers.
Students, including Khalid Mohammed, Youssef Amro, Mehran Jameel, Sama Suleiman, and Suheyla Sharif, noted that the examination paper consisted of 20 questions—15 in the electronic format and 5 in the paper format.
Each question required students to outline their answers on a separate piece of paper, facilitating the determination of the correct choices.
