Manpower Ministry Adjusts Assessment System of Tech Colleges, Cancels 3rd Semester

The Ministry of Manpower today took decisions on adjusting the system of assessment of students at technical colleges.

The new procedures provide that the process of assessment (final exams) for the Second Semester will be based on results of home-works handed over during the period of 5 - 24 May 2020 in all technical colleges in accordance to the colleges' respective curricula.

Meanwhile, remaining short tests will be replaced by home-works and reports to be delivered via email on electronic platforms used by the colleges.

The Ministry also decided that summer vacation for “Foundation Year” students and “Specialization Programme” students will begin on 8 June 2020 provided reports of graduation projects be posted by email on the technical colleges’ portals.

Evaluation of curricula of the Foundation Programme will be made after the start of study, said the Ministry.

The Ministry also cancelled the Third Semester for Academic Year 2019-2020 and advised students to keep themselves updated through official communication channels.
