Based on the search results, I can see that A-Levels have already been cancelled in the UAE (a GCC member state) due to regional conflict. Let me search for more specific information about whether this applies to all GCC countries.#### Resolution criteria

OxfordAQA, one of the largest UK-curriculum examination boards, has cancelled IGCSE and A-level exams in the UAE. The market resolves YES if A-Levels are cancelled across all GCC member states (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman) by the end of the 2026 summer exam session. The market resolves NO if A-Levels proceed in at least one GCC country during the summer 2026 exam period.

Resolution will be determined by official announcements from major UK examination boards (OxfordAQA, Edexcel, Cambridge, AQA) and verified through school communications in affected GCC countries.

Background

All schools, nurseries and universities across the UAE remain closed for in-person learning from March 23, with lessons delivered remotely for an initial two-week period until early April, with the directive reviewed weekly. This follows the ongoing regional conflict involving Iran. No changes have been announced to the summer 2026 exam timetable for GCSEs, A Levels or the IB as of mid-March, though school groups and principals across the region are in active discussions with exam boards to ensure students are protected if disruption continues.

Considerations

IB Diploma exams are scheduled from April 27 to May 20 2026, while GCSE/IGCSE and A Level exams typically run from early May through to June. The timing of any further cancellations will depend on whether regional security conditions improve before the summer exam window. Other curricula have already seen disruptions: CBSE cancelled remaining Class 10 board examinations in countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait due to the regional situation.
