Already at the beginning of the day, the Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye, had mentioned “a drop in results compared to previous years”adding that it was not “not entirely surprising” because “this year is the first real year of baccalaureate reform that is not hampered by the health crisis”. Since the 2019 reform, the baccalaureate mark is based 40% on continuous assessment and 60% on final tests.
In previous years, the baccalaureate pass rate before remedial was 90.5% in 2021, 91.5% in 2020, 77.7% in 2019, 78.8% in 2018 and 78.6% in 2017.
This year, the tests for the new general baccalaureate took place in full, for the first time after two years disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The two specialty tests taken by each candidate, however, had to be postponed from March to May, and adjustments were decided due to the health crisis.
