Who it is for

For Secondary 2 learners in the Baccalaureate

Most learners who started Secondary 1 in 2025/26 chose the Baccalaureate; ministry statements put the share between 92% and 95%. That year group is now in Secondary 2 and faces the first exam that counts towards the certificate. Every one of them needs the three core subjects and the elective of their track.

  • Medicine and Life Sciences learners, in mathematics or physics
  • Engineering and Computer Science learners, in chemistry or programming and AI
  • Business learners, in accounting
  • Every learner in Arabic, Egyptian history and the first foreign language
  • Secondary 1 learners who want firm foundations before choosing a track

How the system and its exams work

Four tracks, with marks gathered over two years

Secondary 1 is common to everyone. In Secondary 2 each learner joins one of four tracks and four subjects count: Arabic, Egyptian history, the first foreign language and one elective from the track. Secondary 3 adds the track’s two specialist subjects at an advanced level. Every subject is marked out of 100, and the best of your attempts counts.

The law
Law 169 of 2025, published in the Official Gazette on 13 August 2025, made the Baccalaureate optional and free, three years long, with a certificate equivalent to the Thanaweya Amma.
Tracks
Medicine and Life Sciences; Engineering and Computer Science; Business; Arts and Humanities. A Secondary 3 learner may change track by studying the new track’s specialist subjects.
Marks
The certificate is out of 600: 400 from Secondary 2 and 200 from Secondary 3. Religious education needs 70% to pass and sits outside the total.
Attempts
Secondary 2 sits a compulsory, free first attempt in May and an optional second attempt in July for a fee. Secondary 3 sits in June and again in August.
Exam format
From 2026/27, half of every paper is multiple choice and half is written answers. Completing 60% of weekly and monthly assessments is a condition for the first attempt.
University admission
Admission for Baccalaureate holders uses marks only, except at faculties that already set aptitude tests.

Where online lessons fit

Online lessons after a full school day

Attendance and the weekly and monthly assessments are part of the conditions for sitting the exam, so the school day stays whole. Online lessons come after it, wherever you are, with a tutor who works from the same ministry textbook and trains you for both halves of the paper.

  • A tutor who knows the new ministry textbook for your subject and track
  • Regular practice in multiple-choice and written answers together
  • Times after school and at the weekend, in Cairo time
  • A plan that follows the monthly assessments up to the May sitting

Common questions

It is optional and free under Law 169 of 2025, and it runs alongside the Thanaweya Amma with an equivalent certificate. Learners choose the system when they enter Secondary 1, and the law allows no transfer between the two during study.

The decisions of 17 August 2026 set a compulsory, free first attempt in May and an optional second attempt in July. A ministry calendar announced in March 2026 had given 12 to 22 June 2027, so we plan for May and follow the official timetable when it appears.

Secondary 2 carries 400 of the 600 marks, two thirds of the certificate, spread over four subjects of 100 marks each. That makes this year the one that deserves the largest share of your time, starting in the first term.

Yes. Under the August 2026 decisions a Secondary 3 learner may change track by studying the new track’s specialist subjects, including its Secondary 2 elective. If you are thinking of moving, find out early what the other track asks for.

The Egyptian Baccalaureate is a national certificate created by Law 169 of 2025, with textbooks and exams set by the Ministry of Education and Technical Education. The IB is an international programme taught in international schools. The new Secondary 2 physics textbook states that the IB reviewed the teaching and assessment approach behind it.
