Lebanon's education ministry cancelled national exams for final-year students four days before they were scheduled to begin. The exams were set for Monday. Officials cited ongoing displacement of thousands of people after earlier bombings as the reason for the cancellation. Many affected students had been attempting to study while living away from their homes. No new exam date was announced.
Background on displacement The ministry's decision affects students who lost access to schools and study materials during the displacement. Al Jazeera correspondent Heidi Pett reported the announcement Thursday.
