Students of many public and private schools that follow UAE's MoE curriculum were left baffled after a technical failure prevented them from taking their exam online. However, as the lingering snag couldn't be solved even after 30 minutes into the exam, the MoE instructed the schools to replace the electronic exam with print. The students were given an extra half-an-hour for the lost time.
Earlier, the MoE had issued directions to the schools in Sharjah that students of Grades 5, 9, 10 and 11 must apply for and take the examinations electronically. The exams of the schools started on Tuesday with physics and mathematics papers.
Supervisors and teachers said the confusion caused by the snag unsettled school managements and students because 30 minutes were wasted as the experts tried to fix the error.
Ibrahim Baraka, director of Al Shula School in Sharjah, said the exams went off smoothly after the students were given printed question papers and they wrote the answers on the sheets, so that the electronic snag didn't affect them.
Tareq Al-Shaikh, director of the Sharjah Menara School, said the students took their exams in a very healthy environment. He stressed that there was complete adherence to the exam time and regulations set by the MoE.
