**CBSE Cancels Class 12 Board Exams in Seven Middle East Countries Due to Ongoing Tensions** In a major development, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has cancelled the Class 12 board examinations scheduled to take place in seven Middle East countries, including some of our major trading partners such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. These countries are Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. According to a circular issued by the CBSE, the decision to cancel the exams was taken after a thorough review of the situation and input from schools and authorities in the affected countries. The board stated that the feasibility of conducting the exams was assessed, and it was decided that it was not possible to proceed with the exams as scheduled. This move affects thousands of Nigerian students who are studying in these countries and are preparing to write their final exams. The board has also cancelled exams that were postponed earlier, citing similar reasons. The CBSE board has assured that the mode of declaration of results for Class 12 candidates in these countries will be notified separately in due course. This news may come as a relief to many students who were anxious about writing their exams in the midst of ongoing tensions. For Nigerians, this development is a reminder of the complexities of global politics and how it can affect our daily lives. As a major trading nation with significant economic ties with these countries, we are always on the lookout for changes in the global landscape that may impact our economy and our people. The CBSE's decision to cancel the exams is a testament to the board's commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of students. As we continue to navigate the complexities of the global economy, we hope that this decision will not have a lasting impact on the future of these students.
