Iraq Education Ministry Denies Rumors on Final-Year High School Exams

Iraq’s Education Ministry has denied social media claims that final-year high school exams would be postponed to 20 June and that exam centers would be moved from universities to schools. The ministry said the circulating allegations were false and urged citizens not to trust rumors about the Education Ministry. In a statement, the ministry said any change to the exam date or exam centers would be announced only through official channels. It gave no indication that such changes have been made. The clarification comes as students and families prepare for the exam period, when misinformation can quickly spread online and create confusion over schedules and testing locations. The ministry’s warning was aimed at preventing reliance on unofficial posts and reinforcing that only formal announcements should be treated as authoritative.
