Education: The Date for Baccalaureate Exams for Second Session Resit Candidates Is Set

PORT-AU-PRINCE.— The Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training (MENFP) has set the date for the official baccalaureate exams for the second session of resit candidates for July 14; they will last four days, according to a statement from the MENFP.

Meanwhile, registrations for candidates wishing to participate in this second-chance examination will be open from May 19 to 30, 2025. Candidates must provide a participation form from the last exams or a certificate issued by the MENFP, in addition to two identity photos and a registration fee of two thousand gourdes.

Only candidates who failed their final year, and who meet the required conditions, will have the opportunity to take exams only in the subjects they failed, and this, over two consecutive years of official assessments. Otherwise, candidates will have to retake all subjects, the statement specifies.

As the 2024-2025 academic year draws to a close, educational authorities are striving to organize these important examinations, despite alarming security conditions that have negatively impacted the learning process and the psychological well-being of students. It is important for authorities to work actively to ensure the smooth running of these exams, which are crucial for the future of prospective graduates.
