I am student from Al Diyafah. I have been doing f2f learning for a while now and I believe that if we can attend classes from school given that safety measures are taken, we should be able to give the exams. Ps, it will have much more credibility.

Please allow us to write our CIE board exams. Our future depends on this. As different teacher from different schools grade students in different ways, it is unfair to us. The CIE boards exams for all students are checked by CIE themselves so it is much more fair. And we all get a more equal opportunity to get better results.

All schools have different protocols and the study break,portions covered and the toughness of the paper will vary from school to school thus leading to an unfair disadvantage to a student whose school has not recognised a study leave and still has portions yet to cover

Reasons why the board exams should take place: 1. Teacher correction is biased. They assess papers more strictly than the board examiners. Board examiners are more qualified due to their board paper correcting experience. Any valid responses should be ideally accepted however, school teachers would not do so, especially in theory subjects where the answer can be extensive. 2. Assignments, classwork, homework, other assessments and mocks are a poor representation of the student’s capability to perform in the boards. Thus, predicted grades based on these are not as accurate and reliable as final grades from writing exams are. Many students show drastic changes in grades after writing the exam, which cannot be decided by the predicted grades. 3. School papers are deliberately made harder to prepare the students for boards. In case of no boards, the student would be unfairly tested on a more difficult paper that would ideally be given. 4. Grade thresholds vary from school to school. Some students may be at an advantage over the others. 5. Students have never experienced writing board exams which is unlikely to prepare them for the hardcore exams that will occur in their universities. This is why attempting exams is fair for all students, and eliminates any form of teacher bias and allows the child to showcase their real abilities and even hone them for the future.

Teachers are biased and they shouldn't be the one setting or correcting our papers as this will lower are grades and effect out future.

Not confident with current grades, need to do boards to improve them

it’s not fair for any student to just rely on our predictions of grades. Teachers are biased regardless how much of reassurance we get, each school s a different way of correcting papers; we just wasted a year in trying to hard. The reckoning is running people are going out yet y’all cancelled our exams like they didn’t have a significant role, students try really hard to study for these papers and honestly w distance learning things have not been easy for anyone. People are going out schools have been open even if it’s a minimum capacity but somehow WRITING ACTUAL PAPERS FOR CIAE would be a threat? We wrote mocks, pre mocks, assessments and now a month just made a difference? this is unfair to literally every single student who has tried so hard to study despite the obstacles. We won’t have a secure future just based on predictions.

The boards are inportant to verify student progress and some batches of students are not able to finish their boards before collges which is concerning. Please reconsider
