Background
This timetable is laid down in Special Official Gazette No. 2 of 25 August 2026. It covers the main national events, including the new pre-written math test at the baccalaureate. The dates indicated relate to the normal session 2027.
Why it's important
Knowing these dates in advance allows families, including newly arrived ones, to organize leave, work and review of children. These tests largely determine the results: in the general and technological baccalaureate, continuous control accounts for 40% of the final score, while the remaining 60% relate to the finals.
What Changes
The schedule of the 2027 session was designed for the heat wave: almost all the written and oral tests will take place only in the morning.
