BAC 2025: ranking of the best graduates from Benin by department (lists)

The top-performing departments in the 2025 Baccalaureate in Benin are now known. The published ranking reveals a clear national progression, the result of structural reforms in the education system. Atlantique, Couffo, and Mono dominate the rankings.

Leading the pack, Atlantique boasts an impressive success rate of 78.13%, closely followed by Couffo (77.95%) and Mono (76.00%). These scores illustrate not only the seriousness of the learners but also the beneficial effects of a series of reforms undertaken over several years.

According to Alphonse da Silva, Director of the Baccalaureate Office (DOB), these results are not due to chance. They reflect, he says, a dynamic of constant improvement in the education system.

He notably cites the stability of the school calendar, now guaranteed by Law No. 2018-34 prohibiting abusive strikes in the sector. Thanks to this, the nine months of teaching activities were able to proceed without interruption.
