We, the undersigned students, parents, and educators, respectfully call for the cancellation of the May 2026 MYP eAssessment in Gulf countries.

Over the past academic year, students across the region have faced significant challenges that have disrupted their learning and preparation. These include inconsistent teaching conditions, varying levels of academic support, and external pressures that have made it difficult to ensure equal readiness for a standardized international assessment.

The MYP eAssessment is intended to fairly measure student understanding and skills. However, under the current circumstances, it risks disadvantaging many students who have not had equal opportunities to prepare. This undermines the core IB values of fairness, equity, and holistic education.

We believe that continuing with the examination in May 2026 would place unnecessary stress on students and may not accurately reflect their true abilities or potential.

Therefore, we respectfully request that the International Baccalaureate Organization consider canceling the MYP eAssessment in Gulf countries for May 2026, and instead explore alternative methods of assessment that are more flexible and equitable for all students.

By signing this petition, we aim to ensure that all students are treated fairly and given the best possible chance to succeed.
