Around 7% of students did not present themselves at schools today at the start of the first term exams because of contacts or outbreaks, said Education Minister Prodromos Prodromou, who however assured that these children will have the opportunity to sit a second set of exams, which will be different from the first.
In a statement after a meeting of the Parliament's Education Committee, which examined the introduction of the test-to-stay measure in schools, the Education Minister said that quarterly examinations in schools "started normally" and that so far "everything is running smoothly".
It is noted that the first term exams will run until the end of January, with an extra week's rest for students.
