Sidama Ministry et Grade 6 & Grade 8 Result 2017

The Sidama ministry et results for grade 6 & grade 8 are published using a new edge technology platform developed by Qelem Meda Technologies to handle student registration, ID number assignment, exam grading, and post-exam analysis.

While the Sidama Bureau oversees the exams locally. The Sidama Ministry’s grade 6 result and grade 8 result are also published in PDF format. Sidama students took the SNNP regional exams, but after the Sidama Region’s formation on June 18, 2020, the Sidama Education Bureau assumed control of administering these exams within the new region.

The Grade 6 and 8 exams in Sidama are held toward the end of the academic year, following the national academic calendar. Typically, the exams take place in late spring or early summer (June) at designated centers across the region.

Result Publish Date

Results are usually processed and released a few weeks after the exams. In the 2016 E.C. academic year, Sidama’s regional bureau announced the Grade 6 and 8 exam results on Nehase 10, 2016 E.C., which corresponds to mid-August 2024.

Thus, it is customary for exams to be given in June and results to be published by July or August of the same year.

Structure of the Exams

The Grade 6 and Grade 8 regional exams are comprehensive assessments covering the core curriculum. They are structured to test competencies across major subjects, typically including Mathematics, Science, English, Amharic (or mother-tongue language where applicable), and Social Studies.

These exams are essentially primary school leaving examinations: Grade 6 serves as an end-of-primary checkpoint, and Grade 8 is a regional completion exam for middle school, determining readiness for secondary education.

Students who meet or exceed this threshold in Grade 6 qualify to enter Grade 7, and those who score ≥50% in Grade 8 qualify to proceed to Grade 9 (the first year of secondary school)
