The Copts of Al-Sharqiya governorate expressed their resentment due to setting the exams of fourth primary grade to be held on January 8, the day following the Nativity Feast, which deprives them of their right to celebrate the feast, and forces them to sit with their children to prepare for the exam.
The Copts demanded that the exams be postponed to the third day after the feast, in order for them to celebrate the holiday and go out with their children without any pressure because of the exams.
