#MENE2614611ASpecial Rules for 2026 French Baccalaureate Exams in Lebanon
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This order changes how the 2026 French general and technological baccalaureate will be awarded to affected candidates in exam centers in Lebanon. Instead of using some final exam results, the system will rely on validated final-year school averages recorded in each student’s school record. For specialty subjects, philosophy, and certain French International Baccalaureate assessments, annual averages approved by the class council will replace the relevant exam marks. These averages will be rounded up to the next whole point, which may affect final scores and diploma decisions for eligible students.
