Following the appeal of concerned parents, Al Shihi said that the statistics of students repeating a grade and achieving low examination results in public schools have become a cause for concern, and called for the issue to be addressed.
“The examination results of public students must be clarified, and the community has to find out whether it stems from the students or the curriculum. The poor results in public schools is not limited to a particular student, but to all,” said Al Shihi.
Al Shehhi pointed out that his claims were made after receiving a large number of complaints from parents, whose children are enrolled in public schools and follow the curriculum of the Ministry of Education.
