Ntoum, Gabon — July 25, 2026 – In Gabon, the first round of the General Baccalaureate exam for the session 2026 has seen a pass rate of 41. 5%, with 11,584 out of 28,394 candidates admitted.
The Gabonese Minister of State for National Education, Camélia Ntoutoume Leclercq, announced the results in Ntoum, emphasizing the importance of the Baccalaureate as a pivotal milestone for students aspiring for higher education.
The exam, which assesses written exams, is significant as it determines eligibility for the second round, including oral exams.
The higher success rate in the Baccalaureate Technologique in 2025 at 53. 63% suggests a potential imbalance in the educational system, possibly favoring technical and vocational education over traditional academic routes.
