Cairo: Egypt has postponed examinations of the first semester for all students until after the mid-year break amid a surge in coronavirus cases in the country.
Students usually sit for the exams in Egypt before they take the mid-year holiday, which was originally scheduled for early February this year.
But the government said that it agreed to postpone exams at all education levels in the country until the end of the holiday and that students will get online education for the next two weeks instead of attending schools as part of measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.
