Grading for the June 2026 baccalaureate exam papers is moving forward across the nation under conditions described as “significantly more favorable” than in previous years. According to education consultant Kamel Nouari, new guidelines established by the Ministry of National Education are set to streamline the work of grading committees while ensuring a rigorous, fair, and standardized evaluation for all candidates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The operational framework kicked off on June 14 with the deployment of center directors, inspectors, committee chairs, and administrative teams. Following several days dedicated to logistical organization and setting up operations, the actual grading process commenced on June 25. The day before, pedagogical committees gathered to standardize practices, review expected answers, and finalize the application of the scoring rubric to guarantee uniform grading nationwide.<\/p>\n

When reached by Le Jeune Independant, Kamel Nouari indicated that multiple reforms were introduced this year to make the grading process more fluid. The first involves exam topic design, which now focuses more heavily on comprehension, analysis, and reasoning rather than simple rote memorization.<\/p>\n

“The questions are neither tricky nor unnecessarily complicated. However, they significantly reduce the opportunities for cheating,” he explains.<\/p>\n

Another update was maintaining internet connectivity during the tests, a decision that, according to him, had zero negative impact on the smooth running of the exams.<\/p>\n

The consultant also noted the elimination of the fourth grading round, which was previously triggered based on the gap between a candidate’s baccalaureate score and their annual school average. This measure visibly simplifies procedures while maintaining evaluation reliability.<\/p>\n

He further specified that a consensus has been reached regarding allowable scoring discrepancies between the first and second readings. These margins vary depending on the academic track and discipline, with scientific subjects adhering to different criteria than those applied to literary or technical fields.<\/p>\n

==A Structured Procedure<\/strong>
\nWhen interviewed by Le Jeune Independant, French teacher Sarah Toudert detailed the inner workings of the grading hubs. She explained that educators are summoned before operations launch to attend a briefing led by the center director. This initial session is dedicated to assigning tasks and reviewing the answer key and scoring breakdown provided by the Ministry of National Education.<\/p>\n

Following discussions and the integration of feedback from the graders, the scoring rubric is officially validated. Teachers are then split into groups and receive their batches of exam papers, with grading generally starting either the evening of that first day or, at the latest, the following morning.<\/p>\n

Every exam paper undergoes two independent grading rounds. In the event of a significant discrepancy between the two assigned scores, a third grading round is systematically launched to guarantee fairness and precision in the assessment.<\/p>\n

For its part, the National Office of Examinations and Competitions (ONEC) has locked in a strict timeline. The entire sequence, from center setup to transmitting results to the central unit, must not exceed fifteen days before the definitive closing of the session and document archiving.<\/p>\n

==Scientific Fields Leading the Pack<\/strong>
\nBased on the initial trends emerging from grading centers, Kamel Nouari displays cautious optimism. He estimates that performance for this session should surpass the marks recorded in 2025, with an uptick particularly anticipated in the scientific tracks.<\/p>\n

The consultant projects a national success rate exceeding 65%, which could trigger an increase in the minimum GPA thresholds required to enter the most sought-after university majors. The baccalaureate results are scheduled to be announced between July 5 and July 9, provided the timeline remains on track.<\/p>\n

On the organizational front, ONEC reminded grading hubs of the necessity of strict teacher attendance, with no absences permitted without a valid medical excuse. The Office also emphasized compliance with Law 18-07 regarding data protection, which strictly prohibits sharing any content related to the grading process or exam papers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
