No exams for some private schools in UAE

The UAE’s Ministry of Education has done away with exams for all private schools that follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum for the year 2020-2021.

They have, instead, approved an alternative system that uses internal tests and teacher assessments.

The non-exam assessment was introduced last November following changes to the schooling schedule by the pandemic.
