Egyptian Baccalaureate Policy Update
The Ministry of Education and Technical Education's decision regarding the system of study and assessment for secondary school students under the Egyptian Baccalaureate system will take effect starting October 16, 2026. The decision includes regulations for enrolling students with international certificates, organizing the curriculum for the second year of secondary school, as well as rules for changing tracks and handling cases of absence from exams due to force majeure. Students holding international certificates such as the British Diploma, American International Diplomas, International Baccalaureate, and Nile International must achieve a minimum average of 50% according to their certificate evaluations, in addition to passing the national identity and religious education subjects with at least 70%. The decision organizes the curriculum for second-year secondary students by defining core, compulsory, and foreign language subjects. It also regulates the choice of specialized subjects based on four tracks (Medicine and Life Sciences, Engineering and Computer Sciences, Business, Arts, and Humanities), including the addition of Financial Culture as a non-graded subject. Furthermore, it permits students to change their study track in the third year, provided they meet the specific subject requirements of the new track. The regulation also sets procedures for dealing with absences due to force majeure, affirming students' right to sit for exams if they can prove medical or emergency excuses. This arrangement is framed within a legal context according to the Education Law and aims to improve the organization of study and assessment under the new system.
