Some 92 talented female students are sitting for the academic accelerated program jointly organized by the Talented Care Program and Academic Progress Evaluation Unit.

The students are representing primary (31), intermediate (12) and secondary schools (49). The exams are intended to give talented and qualified students the chance to be promoted to a higher level than the one they were meant to attend.

Samira Al-Sheabi, assistant director-general of education in Riyadh, made a tour of the exam halls in a gesture of support to the students.

Maha Falata, director of the Talented Care Program said they held an awareness meeting with the students and their families recently to acquaint them with the exams and the accelerated program.

Meanwhile, Iman Al-Otaibi, the exams coordinator, said the primary students would be examined in Arabic, Islamic studies, Social Education, Science, and Mathematics while English will be an added subject for intermediate students. In addition to the above disciplines, the secondary school students will have additional subjects such as physics, chemistry and biology.
