Haiti's Education Ministry Releases Partial State Exam Results

The Ministry of National Education and Professional Training (MENFP) published part of the official state examination results for the 2025-2026 academic year on Friday, August 21, according to lenouvelliste.com. The announcement was made during a press conference held at the ministry's General Inspection office in Musseau. The results released concern the 9th year of fundamental education (9e année fondamentale), the New Secondary 4 (NSIV), and the School for Teachers and Kindergarten Educators (ENIJE). According to the MENFP's director general, Professor Osny Jean Marie, the 9th grade results are available for eight departments, based on data processed by the National Bureau of State Examinations (BUNEXE). The publication follows earlier reporting on the first results for the 9th AF, the Baccalauréat and the ENIJE. The rollout has drawn scrutiny: according to Le Nouvelliste, the UNNOEH teachers' union denounced what it described as 'misleading' success rates. Further details of departmental pass rates were not fully available in the published excerpt. Le Nouvelliste also reported that the MENFP recently opened two new national schools in the Ouest department and a school office in the Centre department.
