Prime Minister Sherif Ismail asserted that the government fully appreciated the impact of postponing and retaking some exams of Thanaweya Amma on students and their parents, noting that the decision was taken to maintain equal opportunities and to place high the values of transparency and honesty in the society.

This came during a meeting between the premier and Education Minister el Helali el Sherbini who submitted a report on the high school exams and some urgent measures which have been taken to face their problems.

The premier asserted that the ministry has exerted much effort to secure the exams and their secrecy.

The premier also pinpointed to the leaking of Dynamics exam six to seven hours before the official timing of the subject exam, noting that the exams committee affirmed that the leaked paper matched with the ministry's exam paper and therefore the exam should be retaken and other subjects will be postponed to July 4.
