- Mr. Abdul Razzaq al-Issa clarified in the necessity to move away from the ministerial examination in the acceptance plans by adopting the cumulative examination mechanism and to conduct an acceptance examination in accordance with an experiment carried out in 2015 which did not succeed.

Mr.Al-Issa pointed out that 1152 students exceeded averages of 100% during the current year.
