The Assistant Undersecretary for Education at the Ministry of Education, Eng. Hamad Al-Hamad, has officially approved a new electronic assessment mechanism for students.
This strategic proposal aims to ensure the continuity of the educational process with high flexibility during the current exceptional circumstances in Kuwait.
The new system replaces traditional short test grades for all core subjects with a continuous performance-based evaluation conducted during class sessions.
Technical departments for each subject have been tasked with designing appropriate frameworks to ensure accurate and fair student assessments.
Proposed by the Director of General Guidance, Mohammad Al-Otaibi, the plan focuses on integrating assessments into daily classroom practices and activities.
The ministry emphasized that these e-assessments must include worksheets and interactive tasks designed differently from conventional written exams.
This move seeks to measure students' actual classroom skills and academic progress daily, reducing exam-related stress and enhancing engagement.
Evaluations will be conducted through smart applications and digital platforms, allowing teachers to monitor and record student performance in real-time.
The Ministry of Education highlighted that classroom activities and skill-based tasks will be the primary criteria for student grading moving forward.
This transition reflects a commitment to digital transformation in education and adopts modern pedagogical standards for qualitative student evaluation.
Education experts expect this decision to alleviate pressure on both students and parents while maintaining the quality of national educational outcomes.
Technical guidance departments will soon distribute the new assessment templates to school administrations for immediate and unified implementation across the country.
