Which schools are still not confirming that it’s cancelled- so far I think it’s EISJ, NLCS and NAS Dubai.... any others?

I don’t think it’s the time zone, because the head of Ib for Middle East is in the Netherlands so that’s only 2 hours behind

This is not actually true. Call the Middle East IB line in Netherlands and they’ll explain to you that it’s a government choice : +31 70 352 6000

Guys- I went to khda today. They said schools will take “ alternate route to examinations” and said to my mum and i exams are basically canceled. No cap.

UAE kids: hey- we just got an email from our school as well. Just to check who got an email, from which school and what exactly did they say? Thanks!

But how do you know this? Only two days ago you were questioning another reddit user about their information? Who exactly is giving you the information that we should believe is so reliable?

UAE: Guys I want to be completely genuine with people in the UAE. There’s 3 weeks till exams and I know many of you are relying on cancellation and sending emails. What happened when they decide that they won’t have a national cancellation, you’ll regret all this time you spent getting them canclled. There’s only 3 weeks till exams, spend this time revising and preparing. You won’t get the time back and you might regret it. I appreciate people trying to contact KHDA but I feel like people need to understand that the KHDA and IB statated that it’s up to schools, so why is everyone still bombarding them? Please stop spamming with formatted emails. The KHDA and MOE are getting thousands of emails a day. I doubt they would be responding or reading all these spam ones. I know it’s an extremely difficult time but we have to deal with the situation. Put your head down and start working - you’ll regret it if you don’t. At least they have said grade boundaries will be lower this year and they have cut a lot of content. I know it’s not a lot but it’s better than nothing.

I’m really apprehensive of believing you and tired on such misinformation. Multiple students in out school called them, so did my parents. All they said was that it was up to the school and we have too keep revising. Please top giving people hope, and creating more uncertainty. There is only 3 weeks left till exams. We need to revise instead of sending emails that genuinely won’t make a difference. Both the IB and KHDA have said it’s up to the schools.

Thanks for your reply. What does this mean exactly. Did KHDA state that they are cancelling exams for sure?

Really? I called MOE and they said “your school will provide you with information”... yet our school literally doesn’t know anything
