Raising the pass threshold for external certifying tests

23/04/2026
In brief

As your child progresses through school, you want to be sure they truly master the basics. The reform strengthens the requirements of the certifying tests (CEB, CE1D, CESS) with a pass threshold set at 60% (and a minimum of 50% in each subject for the CEB). Aim: diplomas that truly reflect the skills acquired. At the same time, support measures are planned to help pupils. Result: stronger foundations, less dropout and a safer school journey.
