Request for Cancellation or Alternative Assessment for IB May 2026 Exams in the Middle East

Do it

i am completely traumatied and have no motivation to study

We have currently had 1 week of online which was very hard to keep up and learn especially in math where we need paper to work and plus 2 weeks of spring break with no extra help and now they have announced extra 2 weeks of online learning.

I thought they canceled it already (6'4 femenist btw)

PlZzzz

Enabling schools and students to choose whether or not they wish to take the IB test, making it available to those who wish and feel able to, and providing alternatives to those who don’t, would be most equitable.

Iam a mother of a student wo is going to take ibdo exam this may.even as an adult i find thid gulf war so depressing..some days i cant even function well. I cant imagine how the kids are going to take exam.mental health is at risk

As a parent of an IB student in Dubai, we have had drone strikes directly over our neighborhood. My son has studied through air raid alerts and genuine uncertainty about his safety. Expecting peak academic performance under these conditions is not high standards. It is indifference. The IBO must act.

My son can't sleep or study, it's enough of anxiety with the war

Gulf News says school will be online for two weeks into term 3. We haven’t even finished syllabus in some subjects.

I don't want to risk getting bombed during my math exam

Pls

This is the second year in a row that these students have interrupted school because of war in our country.

Please cancel the exams in the Middle East!

Please for the mental health of meany

Cancel ib exams in the middle East!!!

there is a war going on, how are you making us sit for exams during these conditions

Cancel the May exams. There is a lot going on, and many students have families from different parts of the world, and they are being greatly affected by the war. Many students are also focused on survival and don't have time to study. Those who have family in other countries who are being affected by the missiles also are feeling very anxious and depressed. There is A LOT going on in our world and it is not fair that we are expected to write the IB exams when we can't even focus on studying for it, and for most of us, our future depends on this exam for university

cancel examinations
