The Minister stated that there were two options for holding the examination; either prepare question papers omitting the uncovered parts of the syllabus or postpone the examination altogether.
However, students, both facing the exam for the first and retaking, had not agreed with the first option. Therefore, the exam was postponed to September, said the Minister.
