The day following the conclusion of the baccalaureate examinations, Yves Roblin, Director General of the Ministry of National Education, provided a positive evaluation of the final secondary school assessments, noting that 95.4% of registered candidates actually sat for the exams. Roblin expressed gratitude to all public institutions, law enforcement agencies, and prosecutors’ offices, primarily from the country’s 18 jurisdictions, for their full support in organizing the exams. He also commended the efforts of the Ministry’s relevant departments, which played a crucial role in ensuring the success of this significant operation.
Roblin stated that the exam questions were accessible to candidates across all subjects, aligned with the prescribed curricula, and reflected the actual amount of instructional time students had during the academic year. Special attention was given to the 19 candidates with physical, visual, or hearing impairments, who were accommodated at testing centers within the Delmas School District.
Miguel Fleurijean, Director of Secondary Education, emphasized the importance of official examinations, noting that they lead to a diploma that grants access to higher education both domestically and internationally. Additionally, these exams serve to identify issues that may impede the teaching and learning process. Fleurijean also reviewed the quality and organization of the exam texts, explaining that they are standardized and comparable to those used in other Caribbean and Latin American countries.
He further explained that for the 11 subjects assessed, a total of 430 standardized texts were used. Despite their differences, these texts enabled the evaluation of the same cognitive levels. This extensive collection of exam materials enhances the Ministry’s capacity to prevent cheating. In recent years, the number of texts administered simultaneously across the country has increased from a single test per discipline to more than twenty, ensuring a more comprehensive and secure examination process.
