On the eve of the written baccalaureate examinations for the June 2026 session, the jury president, Pr. Doumpa Mian Asmbaye, outlined the key organizational arrangements and presented the latest statistics in N’Djamena this Sunday, June 7, 2026. A total of 106,231 candidates are officially registered nationwide, including one international center, with robust measures implemented to uphold the credibility of the diploma.

The press briefing took place in the expansive ABDERAHIM AKACHA hall of the ONECS in N’Djamena. Pr. Doumpa Mian Asmbaye addressed the media ahead of the commencement of the written exams for general and technical secondary education baccalaureate, scheduled to run from June 8 to June 13 across Chad.

During his address, Pr. Asmbaye extended his gratitude to Chad’s highest educational authorities. He specifically acknowledged the State Minister, Minister of National Education, Bilingualism, and Civic Promotion, as well as the Minister of Higher Education, Scientific Research, and Vocational Training. He also commended the diligent efforts of the National Office for Higher Education Examinations and Competitions (ONECS) and the Directorate of Examinations and Competitions for their pivotal role in preparing this session.

The jury president then revealed the crucial statistics for this year’s baccalaureate. Across all streams—literary, scientific, and technical—the aggregate number of candidates stands at 106,231.

A detailed breakdown shows 60,501 boys, making up 56.95% of the total, alongside 45,730 girls, representing 43.05%. Additionally, 5,893 foreign candidates are participating, accounting for 5.55%.

Pr. Asmbaye noted that these figures reflect a slight uptick compared to the previous session, particularly concerning female participation, which has risen from 45,536 to 45,730 candidates. This progress is considered highly encouraging, signaling a growing commitment among families to girls’ education in Chad.

To facilitate the smooth execution of the examinations, 160 examination centers have been designated for this year. This includes 31 centers within N’Djamena, 128 centers across the various provinces, and one international center located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

According to officials from the National Office for Higher Education Examinations and Competitions, this comprehensive organizational structure aims to make the examination process more accessible for candidates while simultaneously ensuring superior logistical coordination and security throughout the event.

The press conference also served as an opportunity to reiterate the stringent regulations governing the 2026 baccalaureate. Joint Order N°48, issued on May 6, 2026, explicitly forbids the possession and use of mobile phones within examination centers and composition rooms.

The jury president underscored the absolute necessity for all candidates to adhere strictly to the “baccalaureate police” guidelines, which are prominently displayed at every center. Any infraction will subject candidates to penalties, potentially including immediate exclusion from the examination. He further reminded that supervisors are mandated to enforce these rules diligently, from the moment candidates enter the centers and throughout the entire duration of the tests.

Beyond the technical and regulatory aspects, the jury president issued a call for collective mobilization. He appealed for the active support of administrative authorities, military personnel, parents, and all stakeholders within the educational system to ensure the successful conduct of this session.

“The jury relies on everyone’s commitment to guarantee the success of these examinations,” he affirmed, stressing the paramount importance of safeguarding the integrity and credibility of the Chadian baccalaureate.

He concluded by extending a message of confidence and encouragement to all 106,231 candidates, wishing them utmost success in this pivotal phase of their academic journey, a period marked by considerable effort, sacrifice, and significant aspirations.
