Egypt Baccalaureate FAQ

The Ministry of Education announced six clarifications regarding the Egyptian Baccalaureate: First-year secondary students will learn about the Baccalaureate and general secondary tracks during meetings with the educational counselor in the second semester. Students who fail the second year of general secondary school may transfer to the Baccalaureate. Second-year students must complete one project for each subject; work on the projects begins in December, and final presentations take place in March. Under the attendance rules for the 2026–2027 school year, students will be dismissed if they are absent for more than 15 consecutive days or 30 non-consecutive days without an acceptable excuse. Students must attend at least 85% of classes to sit the first-chance exam. Financial literacy is assessed through a practical exam on the online platform and a separate written theory exam; home-school students will not receive a certificate of program completion. Students exempt from the second foreign language may not choose it in the Arts and Humanities track, and students may not change the language they selected in their first year. Students at language schools may take the accounting and business administration exams in the language of their choice, with the questions also available in Arabic.
