Representative Edgar Trabelsi expressed his comments on the decree approved by the Council of Ministers regarding canceling official exams and granting success certificates, considering that the mechanism for accrediting success until March 1, 2026 raises a problem related to the principles of justice and equality among students.
Trabelsi explained, in a post on the “X” platform, that despite the importance of the government’s decision to cancel official exams, adopting school success until March 1 as a criterion for granting benefits may lead to unfair results, as students who were successful in the middle of the year and then failed at the end of the year benefit from it, while students who stumbled in the first semester but succeeded in the final exams are deprived of it.
He believed that this standard links success to a staged situation during the school year, rather than the final results that reflect the student’s true level.
Trabelsi called for amending the decree so that students who succeed until March 1, 2026 are considered successful only if they are unable to complete the academic year or take final exams due to exceptional circumstances.
He added that for students who were able to continue their studies and complete their end-of-year exams normally, the final results issued by their schools should be adopted as the only criterion for success or failure, stressing that this is consistent with the simplest rules of educational justice.
