Benin: here is the success rate for the 2026 CEP.

The Ministry of Maternal and Primary Education published, this Friday, the results of the Certificate of Primary Studies (CEP), June 2026 session. At the national level, 90.17% of candidates have been declared admitted.

This result marks an improvement compared to the 2025 session, which recorded a pass rate of 89.81%. The increase, although moderate, indicates a new rise in the performance of candidates for this exam, which marks the end of primary schooling.

In total, 286,995 candidates participated in the exams this year. They were distributed across 860 testing centers throughout the country, including 149,424 boys and 138,571 girls. The session also recorded the participation of 97 candidates with specific needs, spread across 13 adapted centers.

With this pass rate of 90.17%, the vast majority of candidates are now expected to attend secondary schools to continue their educational journey.
