The Egyptian Ministry of Education has started preparations for the new academic year 2026-2027, introducing monthly exams for students in various educational stages. For the first time, students in the first and second grades of primary school, as well as those in the Baccalaureate program, will sit for these exams. According to the ministry, the exams will be held on October 18, as stated in the academic year's schedule.
The monthly exams will cover material taught since the beginning of the academic year up to the exam date. The exams will be administered at the administrative level, following the same controls and mechanisms as last year's exams. The Ministry of Education has emphasized that questions will be set by educational supervisors in the administrative offices.
The correction of exam papers will be carried out by teachers within schools, and results will be announced at the school level. This move aims to assess students' progress and understanding of the material throughout the academic year. The introduction of monthly exams is part of the ministry's efforts to improve the education system.
In addition to the monthly exams, the Ministry of Education has also announced the start of the registration process for students taking the Certificate of Basic Education exam, also known as the preparatory certificate. The registration process began on October 1 and will continue until October 22. Students can register through the ministry's website.
To register, students need to provide required documents, including four personal photos, a copy of their birth certificate, and proof of payment of exam fees.

The ministry has urged all educational administrations to monitor the registration process and ensure compliance with the set deadlines.
The Ministry of Education has also instructed schools to update students' data and prepare their files, particularly for those in the third grade of preparatory school. This move aims to ensure that students are well-prepared for the upcoming exams and that their data is accurate and up-to-date.
