OxfordAQA has announced the cancellation of the summer 2026 IGCSE and A-level exams in the UAE. This follows previous cancellations of the IB and CBSE exams, which were affected by ongoing regional conflicts involving the US, Israel, and Iran.
As a result, students and parents across the UAE are facing significant changes in their academic plans. Education authorities are currently working on alternative assessment methods to help students complete their qualifications despite these disruptions.
Alternative Assessment System Introduced
In a related development, the CBSE board has launched an alternative assessment system for Grade 12 students in the UAE. The key details include:
- Schools must upload all student marks to the CBSE online platform
- Submission period is between April 6 and April 13
- This measure aims to accommodate exam disruptions due to ongoing international tensions
The cancellations have caused widespread concern among students, parents, and educators, underscoring the significant impact of geopolitical conflicts on education systems in the region.
