Ethiopian authorities have restored internet access across the country a little over a week after imposed a blackout, the BBC reports. The Grade 10 and 12 exams are for university entrance purposes and also for enrollment into national vocational courses. Thousands of students took the Grade 10 exams between May 31 until June 2 whiles others took the Grade 12 papers between June 5 and June 8. Ethiopia filters internet regularly using firewalls which often slows network access. A United Nations Human Rights Council resolution last year declared the restrictions of internet access as a violation of human rights.
