Despite continuous difficulties in some regions of the Middle East, the International Baccalaureate (IB) has announced that the May 2026 assessment session will continue in much of the region. While most nations anticipate that exams will proceed according to schedule, the IB is collaborating closely with authorities and schools to guarantee flexibility and student assistance. Measures include opportunities to postpone or modify examinations, access arrangements for impacted students, and extensions of coursework deadlines. The IB may use its Non-Exam Contingency Measure (NECM), which enables students to earn results based on coursework and anticipated marks, under dire circumstances where exams cannot be held safely.
