The Director-General of OBEECS, Pr Alhou Bassirou, officially launched the online pre-registrations on October 29, 2026, in Niamey. This move is part of a two-year initiative to involve all stakeholders in the educational system. The approach aims to promote transparency and has yielded positive results in terms of organization and candidate success rates. Pr Bassirou emphasized that the exams are crucial for Niger's future and sovereignty, as they will shape the country's youth.
The online pre-registration platforms will be open from October 29, 2026, to December 31, 2026, for the Baccalauréat and from October 29, 2026, to February 28, 2027, for the BTS. Candidates and school administrators can complete their formalities on the designated websites. The OBEECS has assured that technical services will be available to provide assistance and ensure the reliability of the registrations.
Pr Alhou Bassirou announced two significant innovations for the 2027 exams. Firstly, Islamic studies will be introduced as an evaluation subject for the A8 series, with a coefficient of 2. Secondly, Physical Education and Sports (EPS) will become a standalone subject for all candidates, with a coefficient of 1. Candidates who are deemed unfit will no longer be exempt but will take an adapted written exam.
The OBEECS has encouraged candidates to take advantage of the online pre-registrations, which will facilitate the examination process. The office has also reassured the public that it is committed to ensuring the smooth conduct of the exams. The launch of online pre-registrations is part of OBEECS' efforts to modernize and improve the examination system.
The 2027 Baccalauréat and BTS exams are expected to attract a large number of candidates. The OBEECS has urged candidates to register promptly and take note of the examination schedules. The office has also reminded candidates that they will be required to adhere to the new examination format, which includes the introduction of Islamic studies and the revised EPS subject.
The Nigerien government has been investing in the education sector, with a focus on improving the quality of education and examination systems. The launch of online pre-registrations is part of these efforts, aimed at increasing transparency and efficiency in the examination process.
