A Tawjihi student was denied entry to the exam hall on Tuesday for being a few minutes late, according to what she told Roya.

The student stated that she was one minute late for the Islamic Education exam and was denied entry.

The Ministry of Education clarified that exam regulations strictly prohibit any student from entering the exam hall after 10:00 AM, the designated time for entering the halls.

Asim Al-Omari, spokesperson for the Ministry of Education, told Roya that surveillance cameras showed the student arriving at the hall at 10:06 AM, which is one minute past the grace period for entry.

Al-Omari confirmed that this was verified through a review of the surveillance footage.

He emphasized that these regulations are in place to ensure the orderly conduct of the exams and prevent any disruptions caused by late arrivals.

Meanwhile, Tawjihi students expressed their satisfaction with the Islamic Education exam, noting that it was easy and accommodated individual differences. They said the exam time was sufficient, allowing them to review their answers multiple times, and all questions were direct and from the curriculum.
