2. HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
The Tawjihi has been used as an
attestation to the completion of high
school.
However all those who finished 12th
grade and completed their
school, have school records which
show their performance.
3. HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATE
So why the need for another test to
do the same?
Tawjihi has nothing to do with certifying
completion of high schools
4. ACONDITION FOR EMPLOYMENT
The civil service bylaws indicate that
certain government posts can only be
filled with those “who passed the
Tawjihi”.
Do they mean those “who completed
high schools successfully?”
5. ATEST FOR EMPLOYMENT
So if they meant completion of high
school
Then the Tawjihi is not required as a
test for employment
The Civil Service bylaws should be
amended to reflect so.
6. Then
If Tawjihi
Is not attestation to completion of school
OR
Is not a test required for employment
SO WHAT IS IT THEN?
IT CAN NOT BE BUT AN UNIVERSITY
ADMISSION TEST
7. HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION
CERTIFICATE (HSCC)
A high school completion certificate should
be issued by the Ministry of Education to
every student who finishes the 12th. grade.
The student must have one transcript of his

employment by the public and private
sectors

OR
They may just ask you to show
proficiency in a number of subjects, for
any selected field, according to a
standardized test

tested subjects for each group

medical group but not for humanities
(Second Bundle)
12. TAWJIHI AS AN ADMISSION
