Tawjihi on the fifth day: Questions range from “easy and clear” to “precise or long”

The Ministry of Education is preparing to launch Gaza's electronic tests in three phases.


High school exams continued yesterday, Monday, in the West Bank, Jerusalem, and for Palestinians abroad, while they remain suspended in the Gaza Strip for the second consecutive year due to the ongoing war of extermination waged by the Israeli occupation army against the Strip since October 2023.
The Ministry of Education announced that exams in Gaza will be held electronically in three phases. The first phase, beginning in mid-July, will include a trial exam and an official exam for students in the third round of 2023.
In this context, students in the Arts stream took the second session of the English language exam, while students in the Science stream took the Biology exam, and students in the Entrepreneurship and Business stream took the Small Business exam.
In exclusive interviews with students in front of a number of halls in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate, the newspaper observed a clear discrepancy in their assessment of the level of the exams, with some finding them easy and clear, and others complaining about the precise, lengthy, or indirect questions.

Literary Branch: Between the Clarity of Paragraphs and the Difficulty of "Romeo and Juliet"

A number of literature students agreed that the second English session was easier than the first, while others criticized the difficulty of the literature section, particularly the section on "Romeo and Juliet," which required in-depth understanding and connections between events.
Nay: "Today's exam was better than the last session, but the true/false question was very precise... and the external section was easy."
Tulin: “It was normal, not very difficult, but the (circle) question was strange and required thinking, and the writing question was big.”
Fares: "The two sessions of the English exam were easy, thank God."
Zina: "They answered a question about the most difficult sentence in the paragraph. See you in the math exam."
Sidra: "The whole Romeo and Juliet segment was comprehension, nothing verbatim."
Siri: "The exam is easy, and takes into account individual differences."
Nour: "There are tricks in the stories, and focus on the last event, not the expected one."

Science students: Biology between "clarity" and "scribbles"

Science students' opinions varied between those who found the exam easy and straightforward, and those who felt that some of the questions were unusual or confusing and required a great deal of concentration.
Christine: "There are easy questions, but there are also difficult and scribbled questions, and there was one question that was not clear."
Zeina: “The exam was relatively easy… Glory to our martyrs and prisoners.”
Carla: "It's hard, there are a lot of questions, and each question has four branches."
Laith: “From average to difficult, some questions are not from the book, but are solved for the understanding student.”
Darren: "Hard."

Entrepreneurship and Business Students: The "Projects" Exam is Easier Than Accounting

Most students expressed satisfaction with the small business exam, stating that it was straightforward and uncomplicated, unlike the previous accounting exam.
Ryan: "The exam was good and straightforward, the questions were easy."
Abdul Raouf: "The projects exam today was easy, but they beat us in the accounting exam."
Angel: "It was very easy and straightforward."
Mohammed: "The exam was average to difficult, but those who studied well will succeed."
Qusai: "It was easy and difficult at the same time."

The Ministry of Education confirms students' satisfaction and prepares for Gaza exams.

In a statement to "E", Ministry of Education spokesman Sadiq Al-Khudour explained that the reactions so far indicate "general satisfaction among students," noting that the ministry has actually begun preparations to hold the high school exams for students in the Gaza Strip electronically, in three consecutive stages.
Al-Khudour indicated that the first phase will begin on July 17 with a trial exam, followed by the official exam on the 19th of the same month for students of the 2023 class, born in 2005. The second phase will follow for students of the 2024 academic year (born in 2006), and then the third phase for students of the 2025 academic year (born in 2007).
Students will be provided with advance training through a mock exam, and explanations and instructions will be posted on the Ministry's website and Palestine Educational Channel.
