The Ministry of Education said that the ongoing bloody Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip for 258 days in a row has deprived about 39,000 students of sitting for high school final examinations, which are scheduled to begin the coming Saturday.
The Ministry’s spokesman Sadiq Al-Khadour explained in a press statement on Thursday, that 450 high school students, including 20 students from the West Bank, were martyred this year as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression and repetitive raids.
Al-Khadour pointed out that 1,320 Palestinian male and female pupils are going to take the high school (Tawjihi) exams in 29 Arab countries, including 1,090 in Egypt.
The Ministry of Education has already arranged with Egypt, Russia, Turkey, and Qatar to open school halls for holding the Ministry’s high school exams, while they will be held in the Palestinian embassies in other countries, he elaborated.
