Students, parents of British curriculum schools in the UAE have expressed concern following the UK government's announcement that upcoming General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) and A-level examinations have been cancelled.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced late Wednesday, "exams will not take place as planned in May and June."
UK's Education Secretary Gavin Williamson said schools in England will close from Friday until further notice for all pupils except children of key workers and the most vulnerable.
Students in British curriculum schools in the UAE are worried this decision would impact their admission to varsities in the UK and the US, as they will be granted admission on the basis of predicted grades. However, students have until August 31 to meet the academic conditions of their offers from Universities.
