IGCSE/International GCSE and school exams 

Cambridge Exams Update - 2021

Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) in adherence to the notice of new Covid-19 precautionary safety measures for schools have announced the following guidelines for candidates taking the Cambridge IGCSE, O Level, and International AS & A Level exams in Kuwait for the June 2021 series: 

Schools will not proceed with conducting CAIE examinations. They will switch to an approach based on teacher assessment instead and provide grades based on your level of achievement. For more details please contact your school. You can find more information from CAIE about school-assessed grades here. As of this week, you will begin receiving updates from schools that are using school-assessed grades. 

Exams for British Council private candidates will take place as scheduled. In view of the current situation, no further registrations will be accepted for private candidates as the registration deadline has already passed.
