RIYADH: Students at the intermediate and secondary levels have taken their maths test. A wave of relief swept over the students after completing this exam, as many of them believed that this subject was the toughest of them all.
A number of schools even introduced psychological programs that aim to help students get over their maths phobia, including putting up signs at the entrance of exam halls encouraging them to smile, saying that the exam is actually easy, in addition to distributing cold water and juice for all.
The exams are accompanied by huge educational and security preparations, with security and traffic teams placed at intersections that lead to schools in order to regulate traffic, and to detain any violator of the law, such as drifters. Schools received pupils before the exams from the early hours of the morning and directed them toward their seats in exam halls. Education officials and supervisors also visited the exam halls to monitor the conduct of examination of some 2.6 million students during the day.
Reporters of newspapers also toured exam halls and noticed that schools took special care of these spaces, with particular attention being paid to the air conditioning in light of the high temperatures at this time of the year.
Schools also put up signs and guidance stickers on each table to remind pupils of the Faten program, which aims to increase the understanding among students about the usage of modern communication technologies, and to enhance their moral and social values within the framework of Islam.
