Ministry investigates exam leak after 800 caught cheating

Students shared exam questions on social media, classified as cheating since the test had already begun when the images surfaced. Officials caught and referred culprits to the disciplinary council.

Another source confirmed an ongoing investigation to uncover further details.

Since the start of the exam cycle, over 800 students were caught using phones to cheat, resulting in a two-cycle ban.

Students continued taking the Tawjihi exams, including various streams like scientific, industrial, and home economics.

According to the Ministry's schedule, scientific and industrial students took the biology test, while arts and Sharia students sat for the second paper of the Arabic language exam. Hotel and tourism students took their second food production exam.

The exam duration varied, with scientific, arts, and Sharia exams lasting two hours, while industrial, home economics, and hotel exams lasted an hour and a half.
