Threshold Decree (60% on external certifying exams)

19/05/2026
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 exams (CEB, CE1D, CESS) with a pass threshold set at 60% (and a minimum of 50% in each subject for the CEB). The aim: diplomas that truly reflect the skills acquired. Support measures are also planned to help pupils. The result: stronger foundations, less dropout and a more secure school path.
