She added that the aim of publishing the assessment policy guide is to inform parents of students of assessment tools and the mechanism for calculating grades with guiding advice, stressing that the guide’s accuracy is in clarifying the types of assessments throughout the school year, from its beginning to its end, during the three semesters.
She stated that the evaluation policy includes the academic stages, which include early childhood, kindergarten, the first and second cycle and ends with the third cycle, pointing out that the evaluation policy identified three types of assessment tools, which are diagnostic and formative exams, which are the works during one semester, as well as the final evaluation.
