The pass rate for the 2020 baccalaureate has reached 95%, according to the final results published on Thursday, a record level for this exam fully validated last year via continuous assessment due to the coronavirus epidemic.

The 2020 session of this end-of-school exam, which opens access to higher education, had 760,800 candidates, of which 723,000 were received, indicates the Ministry of National Education.

This rate takes into account the results of the replacement session in September, open to those who were unable to assert the results of continuous monitoring.

97.6% success in general, 95% in technology

The rate previously communicated, last July (therefore before the September session), was 95.7%.

The statistics department of the ministry (Depp) explains that with the changes in the organizational arrangements for the baccalaureate, more candidates were allowed to sit for the replacement session in September, especially among those from the distance education and individual applicants.

The success rate reached 97.6% in the general route, 95% in the technological route and 90.4% in the professional route.

The proportion of baccalaureate holders in a generation was 87% in 2020, up 7.3 points compared to 2019.
