In prompt response to a written request by Pope Tawadros II, Egypt’s Ministry of Education and Technical Education decided to amend the dates for first school term examinations, so that they do not fall on 20 January 2020 which coincides with the Coptic Feast of the Epiphany.
The Ministry accordingly sent official letters to all educational administrations in Egypt notifying them of the amended schedules which excludes Monday 20 January 2020 from examination timetables. Exams previously scheduled on that date were advanced to 19 January 2020.
