The Egyptian Education Ministry has withheld test results from two students, the sons of a parliament member from Abu kabir city in Sharqiya Governorate, as punishment for leaking high school exam results online. The ministry has also referred the matter to legal affairs to open an extensive investigation into the incident. Education Minister Tarek Shawky confirmed that high school exams results are scheduled to be announced at one pm on Tuesday during a press conference. Shawky previously said on Monday that everything that reported on social media about top students, grades, and success rates are baseless. And the ministry added that students will no longer be getting 100 percent, with grade segmentation having been modified due to a decline in high school degrees crossing 100 percent recently.
