CEP 2026 exam: a pass rate of 90.17%
The lanterns have dimmed on the deliberations of the June 2026 session of the Primary Studies Certificate (CEP). The official figures released by the Directorate of Examinations and Competitions (DEC) reveal an exceptional overall performance: the national pass rate stands at 90.17%. This performance marks a significant improvement compared to previous sessions and confirms the positive momentum in which the Beninese education system is currently situated.

The Fruit of Collective Commitment and Sustained Reforms
This result, beyond expectations, is not a matter of chance. It is primarily the fruit of collective commitment and a synergy of actions among the various actors in the educational chain:
- The selflessness of teachers and supervisors: Despite the demands of new programs and rigorous monitoring throughout the year, the teaching body managed to stay on course to cover the programs on time and prepare the learners calmly.
- The rigorous monitoring by parents: The support from families, increasingly engaged in regularity and homework, has proven decisive in the confidence displayed by the candidates.
- The state’s investments: The stabilization of the school year, the gradual expansion of school canteens that keep children in school in vulnerable areas, as well as waves of capacity building for teachers are now bearing fruit.
The Northern and Southern Departments Neck and Neck
Although the detailed rankings by department highlight slight geographical disparities, the upward trend is general. Several school districts, accustomed to intermediate scores, are surprising this year by reaching very high levels, illustrating a better equity in the quality of educational offerings across the entire national territory.
For the thousands of new certificate holders, this precious key officially opens the doors to secondary education. Eyes are now turning to the display centers and the eRESULTATS platform, overwhelmed by families checking for mentions and individual performances.
