Manama : The High Council of Educational and Training Development has endorsed the results of the fifth national examinations for 12th grade students held under the supervision of the National Authority for Qualifications and Quality Assurance of Education and Training (QQA) in March.

The Council approved the results at a meeting chaired by Deputy Premier and Chairman of the Council His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa on Thursday.

QQA Chief Executive Jawaher Al Mudhahki said that parents in Bahrain were now paying greater attention to national examinations, especially after it was decided that 12.5 per cent of the exam grade are computed into the overall average for the students in their final school year.
