The Ministry of Education announced Monday its approval for non-terminal students and pupils, absent from second-round exams in one subject, to take a make-up exam. This compensatory test is set for Sunday, September 27, 2026, for the 2025-2026 academic year, enhancing academic success opportunities. This initiative stems from direct guidance by Education Minister Abdul Karim Abtan Al-Jubouri, aimed at providing an additional chance for eligible students to complete the missed subject's assessment. The Ministry has circulated its decision to all general directorates of education in the governorates (excluding the Kurdistan Region), urging strict implementation according to adopted regulations and instructions.
