Over 118,000 Candidates Expected for Haiti's 2025-2026 Baccalaureate
Official examinations are reportedly set to begin July 13, according to Haitian outlets.
More than 118,000 candidates are expected to sit for Haiti's 2025-2026 baccalaureate examinations, according to reports from HaitiLibre and Le Nouvelliste. Both outlets indicate the exams are scheduled to begin on July 13, with HaitiLibre framing its coverage as a 'J-2' (D-2) countdown to the start of the session. Detailed logistics — including the number of examination centers, regional distribution of candidates, and specific subject schedules — were not available in the material reviewed and could not be independently confirmed. The baccalaureate marks the culmination of secondary schooling in Haiti and is a key requirement for university admission. This year's session is reported to unfold against a backdrop of ongoing security and organizational challenges in parts of the country, though the sources cited did not specify measures tied to the exams themselves. Education authorities typically coordinate with security services to secure testing sites, and separate reporting has referenced training sessions for electoral and security personnel across northern and southern regions. Readers should treat figures and dates as preliminary pending official confirmation from Haiti's education ministry. Additional details are expected as the examination period opens.
