The Board is engaging with the relevant universities to address cases of exams being set on Yom Tov or Shabbat. Once again, I urge students to check their exam timetables and in the event of there being clashes to immediately send the relevant details (full names, date and time of exam and student number) through to us at sajbd@sajbd.org. We will do everything we can to assist our students, but it becomes extremely difficult to do so if we are not informed timeously.
