Saudi Cambridge exam should be cancelled
I’m writing this because a lot of us are frustrated, confused, and honestly feeling ignored right now.
Across the Middle East, a significant number of countries have already had their Cambridge exams cancelled or moved to alternative assessment methods like POE (Portfolio of Evidence). Meanwhile, students in countries like Saudi Arabia are still expected to go ahead with full examinations as if everything is normal.
From a formal standpoint, this raises a serious issue of fairness and standardization. All candidates are part of the same Cambridge system, follow the same syllabus, and are assessed under the same grading framework. When different regions are evaluated under completely different conditions, it directly impacts equality and the integrity of the system.
But beyond policy and structure, let’s be real for a moment.
This is exhausting.
Students here are dealing with uncertainty, stress, and the pressure of preparing for exams that others in the same region no longer have to sit. Watching others receive cancellations while we’re left waiting with no clear communication feels incredibly unfair. It creates anxiety and a sense that our situation simply doesn’t matter as much.
This is not about trying to avoid exams.
This is about equal treatment.
If a large percentage of students in the Middle East have already been given an alternative pathway, then the same consideration should be extended to everyone else. Fairness shouldn’t depend on geography.
What we can do right now:
We need to act together — respectfully, but firmly.
I strongly urge everyone to email the Ministry of Education (MOE) and request:
Equal treatment with other Middle Eastern countries
Reconsideration of exam cancellation
Implementation of POE or an alternative assessment method
If only a few people email, nothing will change. But if many of us reach out collectively, we actually have a chance to be heard.
Be respectful in your emails. Be clear. Be united.
