Get ready for smoother exam days in Qatar’s public schools! The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) has just announced cool new rules for the 2025–2026 school year that will make exam time way easier for students and teachers alike. So, what’s cooking? First off, once students finish their exams, they can leave immediately. No more waiting around! This clever move will slash crowding and make school spaces easier to move through during those stressful days. But there’s more! School teachers and staff get a neat new perk—they can leave two full hours earlier than usual during exam weeks. This is a smart break to help them avoid burnout while marking papers and preparing certificates on time. Who wouldn’t love some flexibility? However, the Ministry has set some important ground rules to keep everything smooth. Staff can only take a total of two hours off per day while these new rules apply, and they can’t mix this early leave with other special schedules like breastfeeding times. It’s all about balance! Along with these exam-week updates, Qatar also has a refreshed academic calendar for 2025 to 2028. This new plan honors important events like National Day and Ramadan, making sure school timing fits around what matters most for students and families. These changes show Qatar’s big goal to build strong human capital, supporting students and teachers with flexible but well-organized school systems, all aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030. In short, goodbye exam stress chaos! With early student exits and helpful staff hours, plus a calendar that puts people first, Qatar’s schools are gearing up for a brighter, calmer 2025-2026 school year. Exciting times ahead!
