Egypt Thanaweya Amma exams to start 15 June - Society
Minister of Education and Technical Education Mohamed Abdel-Latif announced Tuesday that high school final exams, known locally as Thanaweya Amma, will begin on 15 June and run through 10 July. The schedule applies to all specialized schools, including science and technology (STEM) institutions and schools for the visually impaired. In recent years, Egypt has introduced several adjustments to the forms of Thanaweya Amma exams, focusing more on multiple-choice questions (MCQs) over essay questions. The exam reforms are part of Egypt's broader effort to transition from a memorization-based education system to one focused on comprehension. Thanaweya Amma exams, taken in grade 12, are crucial for parents and students as they determine university admissions based on their scores. Egypt will introduce the Egyptian Baccalaureate Certificate as of the next academic year, replacing the decades-old Thanaweya Amma system. The new system will be phased in, starting with students entering their first year of secondary education (10th grade). This is the second time the secondary education system has been amended; the first was a comprehensive restructuring plan for the Thanaweya Amma system, unveiled in August 2024.
