Students appeal to “Education” for a “success degree”

Dozens of students and parents from various emirates of the country flocked to the Ministry of Education from yesterday morning until the end of work, some of them demanding that the Ministry raise them one or two grades to reach the success rate, and others whose grades in postponed subjects from the second semester were not added to the total.

For his part, the head of the examinations department at the Ministry of Education, Ahmed Al-Darai, said that each case will be dealt with in accordance with the law followed by the ministry, and the problems that students were exposed to as a result of withholding subject grades will be addressed.

Al-Darai explained that according to the law, a student who fails in four subjects, in one of which he obtained a grade of 59, will be advanced in that subject to take the second round exams scheduled for next Sunday, and if the student fails in five subjects, he must repeat the year, even if his grades are in the fifth. Subjects: 59, while if a student obtains grades of 57, 58, and 59 in three subjects, his grade will be raised to 60 to be successful.

He stated that a student who failed three subjects, in which his grades ranged between 57 and 59, would have his grade raised to pass.

He added that coordination had been made with educational districts and school principals at the state level, to unify the lifting mechanism and deal with those with critical grades. The student in the literary department, Khaled Obaid, told Emirates Al-Youm that he was surprised by his failure in five subjects, after his results appeared, but his grades in the five subjects varied between 59 and 58 degrees, while the passing score was calculated out of 60 degrees, hoping that he would be included. The critical grading system, whether in the five subjects or at least in two subjects, allows him to take the second round exams in three subjects, instead of repeating the entire year.

The mother of the student Hadeel Hassan complained that her daughter had failed with a very slight difference in grades, explaining that she had failed in four subjects, including Islamic education, in which she obtained a grade of 59.5, and economics in which she obtained a grade of 59.9, and the remaining two subjects varied between 59.8 and 59.6, demanding that the Considering her daughter’s matter, whether by raising her or taking her second-year exams.

The mother of the student, Aya Muzaffar, stated that her daughter was subjected to injustice by calculating her total grade without adding the grade for the Islamic education subject. She was surprised that her daughter’s grade was 86.5%, without adding the Islamic education subject. A review by the ministry revealed that there had been a defect in the system that prevented the grade for that subject from being added. She continued, “By adding the Islamic education degree, her daughter’s score becomes 98.6%, making her first in her school, and among the first in Ajman.
