Secondary Schools Clarify 60% Task Completion and 85% Attendance Rules

Secondary schools have clarified the distinction between completing 60% of tasks and meeting an 85% attendance rate under the Egyptian Baccalaureate system.

The clarification concerns the conditions for entering the Egyptian Baccalaureate examination, with schools seeking to explain the rules governing the system.

The two percentages refer to different measures: 60% relates to task completion, while 85% relates to attendance. They should not be read as alternative descriptions of the same requirement.

The brief announcement did not provide further details on how task completion or attendance would be calculated, or how either measure would be checked for exam eligibility.
