International Baccalaureate Exams Scrapped in UAE Amid Iran War

Students following the International Baccalaureate program in the United Arab Emirates will be graded on their coursework and teachers’ assessments rather than written exams this year as regional conflict disrupts the academic calendar.

Those enrolled in diploma and career-related programs will skip written tests scheduled for May, with schools told to switch to a contingency route instead, according to emails sent to parents by some schools and people familiar with the matter.
