  Exams postponed for World Cup
  
  Exams in Saudi Arabia are being postponed next year so football mad youngsters can enjoy the World Cup.
  
  The Saudi Education Ministry announced changes to school and university timetables in order to make way for the football tournament in Germany.
  
  In a statement it said it would be a shame if students were unable to enjoy the competition properly because of their exams.
  
  It added that it would also be detrimental to their grades if they spent too much time in front of the TV instead of studying.
  
  Instead they have rearranged the exam timetables to prevent clashes with final exams at the end of June and beginning of July.
