How will the mechanism be in case there are no examinations? We do not know yet, it is too early."

David Gal, director of the Department of Education's senior exams division, added: "It's too early for us to make a decision about canceling the matriculation exam and giving it the opportunity to take another exam, such as homework. We keep students in a routine and are in no hurry to make a decision. We will announce the exams as soon as possible, soon after Passover. "
