Low pass rate for baccalaureate exams in Morocco

2007-06-22

The pass rate for this year’s first round of baccalaureate exams was 39.1%. Some 87,000 students, more than half of them girls, were successful. Science and technology subjects saw the highest success rates.

By Sarah Touahri for Magharebia in Rabat – 22/06/07

[Sarah Touahri] 118,767 candidates will take part in the additional round of exams to be held July 5th.

Emotions ran high in Moroccan schools when the results of this year's first round of baccalaureate exams were announced on Wednesday (June 20th). The overall pass rate was 39.1%, up by 1.1% from last year.

This year’s baccalaureate exams saw some new initiatives to improve standards and raise the credibility of the qualification.

For some there was relief, while others were unhappy with their poor results. "I’m very happy, but at the same time I’m sorry for the people who didn’t pass. Anyway, they’ve still got another chance in two weeks’ time," student Sarah Bakkali said.

A total of 86,994 candidates passed. More than half of them are girls. "Boys and girls did more or less equally well," a Ministry of Education statement said. "Girls have done better than ever."

Science and technology subjects saw the highest pass rate of 46.7%, up by 5% on the same round of exams last year. Arts subjects continued to see the lowest pass rates, with only 30.3% of candidates making the grade.

This is not the end of the road for students who failed. Another round of exams on July 5th will give 118,767 students another chance. Ministry officials are expecting the overall percentage of successful students to rise considerably after the additional round since the number of candidates sitting the second session corresponds to half of those who sat the first.

The 25,460 independent candidates scored lower than average, with a pass rate of 15.2%.

The final results of the exams will be published on July 15th, immediately after examiners conclude their deliberations.

Many candidates who passed thought that some exams were too difficult or too lengthy for the time given to complete them. Although she managed to pass her exams, Rihab Souri told Magharebia that the length of time allowed for science exams was insufficient to enable candidates to obtain good results.

Teacher Jamal Salimi believes that although pass rates are still low, the results so far are a major improvement over last year. Some teachers criticise students’ lack of ability, which they believe is the reason why many candidates are unable to access higher education. "If the pass rates are still low, it’s because they reflect the true abilities of candidates. The exams are there to ensure that the better students get through," said Arabic teacher Jawad Hatit.

I think that the Moroccan ministry of national education has made the exams difficult, and I say to those who haven't passed, next year.

hanane Posted 2007-06-22

Salam alaikoum. I'm one of the students who have passed successfully the baccalaureate exams this year. I think that there's no improvement at all as over 60% of the candidates either qualified for the second round or failed. And even those who managed to pass, most of them got a moderate pass which is almost unacceptable as the student who gets such grade should just throw that diploma and join the university which is avoided by students, namely because no higher institute or school accept students with low grades. So if those who failed are sad because they didn't pass, those who passed are also sad as they got a grade that isn't acceptable in Moroccan schools, so their success is just in appearance.

The girls are the biggest cheaters in Morocco.

moha Posted 2007-06-22

Berber activists blame Arabization for the high illiteracy rate in Morocco - - 56 percent of its citizens cannot read -- because Berber children often drop out when confronted with teachers who speak only Arabic. They also blame it for the continued poverty of most Berbers. Fifty percent of Moroccans live on less than $50 a month, and most of the poor are Berbers.

I want the results of the baccalaureate exam

rachid Posted 2007-06-23

If you really want to move forward in Morocco, you need to change the people’s horrible personalities.

AMENZOU Posted 2007-06-24

Azoul everybody,as an african man (of course Moroccan), i would like to say that the chief matter that students encounter in this admirable amazigh land is that they do not get a stong foundation when they are in the first stages of their development. Let us be logical just for a bit, and let us conffess that the policy of the government is main drawback that weakens develoipment in Morocco. That is to say the policy of arabisation is what constantly makes morocco plenty of illeterate people and rate of illeteracy is high. As student, we hope that the government will understand that we disagree with such barbaric policy, and that it should confess that Thamazight is an official language in Morocco. Thanmirt attass.

فاشل Posted 2007-06-24

Where is justice, we're really oppressed and the prayer of the oppressed is answered. We're in the second session, and in the regional I got 11, and I am sure that I did the exam in the best way, where's democracy, where's transparency, where's sincerity, where's the transparency you've been claiming for years, they sell our grades to the fools who don't deserve them without making any efforts, by God, this is unfair.

R Zaki Posted 2007-06-25

Salam Alaikum, Hanane I am very happy for you. I can tell you are very good student for the fact your english is impeccable. Nevermind the bigots like rachid who calls girls are cheaters. He is one of the few guys that will always blame their problems on women. I wish lots of luck in the future and may ALLAH (swt) help you succeed. Regards

رشيد مساعد Posted 2007-06-25

Salam alaikoum, as a student who has sit for the exam of the baccalaureate, but didn't succeed because of the attitude of some teacher, I hope that they'll change that attitude towards the student namely the administration...good luck to everyone in the second session.

Salam alaikoum, we're candidates in the second session of the bac- please make the exams doable, we're not all very smart, thank you.

Citoyen Posted 2007-06-27

There is what we call the system... if you want to succeed, you must follow it. There is no other choice- in effect, the bac results reflect in some way the quality of the Moroccan educational system, the objectives seem somewhat ambiguous, and the students remain the primary victims. (Without talking about emotional and physical stress) The equation has numerous parameters, so the solution isn't as easy as all that.

معنديش Posted 2007-06-28

No salam, no talk, shame on you! 9.99? That's irrational, this is unfair, do you have no mercy? Don't hurt my feelings (don't put that grade to begin with, you should have given me the average and give me no hope, no problem, no need for that second session, [expletive] on you and your ministry of education, you're all fakers. May God treat you according to your faith, and even if I had got that baccalaureate, I swear by God that I would have put it in the toilet.

محمد+بوجمعة Posted 2007-07-12

Those who passed have passed, those who failed have failed, those who took the second session have taken it, and there's no pass but the pass of the other world. Congratulations to those who passed- I wish patience for those who failed and good luck to candidates to the second session.

Salam alaikoum, congratulations to all those who received the baccalaureate diploma in Morocco and patience to those who didn't get it hoping from God that they will get in a future occasion with the help of God. In fact, the policy of education in Morocco is deteriorating as a result of the changes introduced at the beginning of the reform of the first year of the baccalaureate (regional exam). On this occasion, I address a call to the Ministry of National Education in order to restructure the internal system of the education project as it's not in favour of all the students in the Kingdom of Morocco. As teaching isn't the same in the Kingdom of Morocco, every institute has its educational system. Thank you.

The exam was not for wimps. It was a real shame, especially the natural sciences.

mohamed Posted 2007-07-19

Hi, I think that passing the exam is associated with the qualifications of the candidates, their hard-work and their efforts in studies which might raise the rate of success of the candidates.

Not a word to say.

karim amlos Posted 2007-09-29

To tell the truth, education in Morocco is still lacking so many things. But thanks to God, this is not just the case in morocco, but in all Arab countries. I hope there will be an interest in this sector as all developed countries have achieved development thanks to this sector. As to you Hamza, don’t worry, the exam will be inchallah easy. But in spite of that you should review your lessons from the beginning. Ok?

tima Posted 2007-11-27

Hi. I'm really sorry for all the students who weren't successful in the exams. Honestly, I was concerned when I read the article because I will sit for the exam this year and I have no good idea about completing this exam.

معتصم بالله Posted 2007-12-31

Salam alaikoum. I will sit for the baccalaureate exams; I hope that the national exam will be reasonable for all. If we consider things seriously, we’ll find out that those who work hard will achieve a good result al this is accompanied with prayers and worship to God Almighty. Yes I agree with some friends about the injustice of some teachers to the students. We should just be patient. Finally, oh Lord we ask you by your great names and qualities not to make us among the oppressors, and make us among the faithful. Salam alaikoum.

ادريس ايت الحاج Posted 2008-01-20

Salam alaikoum. I tell you may God assist you all. But success comes with hard work and patience; patience is the key to outlets. I’m like you; my concern is your concern. But if we pass we rejoice and if we lose we’re not very sad, we should have strength and patience. Praise be to God in all situations. Salam.

عبد من عباد الله Posted 2008-02-22

Eh brothers, have you seen anyone who has 2 in the national exam and passes….??? Of course this young man is well known by all the people of the town of El Youssoufia to be -stupid- but money makes a road. By God Almighty this case exists. There is no power and no will but from God. God suffices us and He is the best protector against these officials. God suffices us and He is the best protector against them. Administrative corruption has extended to all sectors. God sanctions everyone for his deeds.

I got my baccalaureate degree in literature of 2004, what have I done with it? [Expletive] nothing. What a pity for the distinction 12. But if you have money you will work, if you don’t have, throw yourself in the sea. My advice to you, young people, is not to dream because they are fooling folks. By God, even the man who sells bottles is better than you. D

I think that Morocco is experiencing a very difficult period, in terms of education. The ministry of national education sincerely didn’t know how to develop education. Instead of improving it, it has complicated it. I don't know the real cause. They don’t need so much experience in this field. God grants success to everyone.

hassan Posted 2008-05-29

Firstly I thank the administrators of this forum. I address my message to all the students of the baccalaureate in my country, Morocco. I advise them to work hard in order to achieve their goal. Believe me when I tell you that I obtained the baccalaureate without preparing for it. But I did so with a grade point average insufficient to allow me to enter any high level institute. I just stayed at home and strolled the streets as they say. I no longer know my fate in the future. I call upon all the students to be patient and work hard and the results won’t be disappointing. I am thinking of leaving Morocco now but I know that I will miss it and miss its people. I wish you all success. May you get good results. If you work hard, you will reap good results.

hassaniya Posted 2008-05-30

Hassaniya, honestly this year I will participate in the national exam of the baccalaureate. My question is why don’t you make the common curriculum universal in all Morocco because other books are different in some courses. I want the reply very soon please. Your sister Hasaniya Zinbl from Agadir.

The baccalaureate exams are characterized by their lack of transparency and bias of the supervisors to the high class and students of private schools by ignoring their cheating (copying).

Salam alikoum. The baccalaureate in Morocco isn’t based on any logic. Honestly, A pupil with a grade point average of 13, who works hard, fails the baccalaureate. No and a thousand nos to buying and selling results in this state of law and correctness. This is the biggest shame ever. students who are only good at cheating pass and students who study day after day, fail. There is no future for studies in Morocco. They say that the pass rates are low. Oh, oh! Stop teasing people's sons! They are the fathers of tomorrow and they might teach your sons. So beware, beware. If you insult you will be insulted. Salam.

Please tell me what the results for the 2008 baccalaureate exams are.

taoirirt Posted 2008-06-15

Hi. For me, the 2008 baccalaureate exams were very difficult for literature students. Even if they get good results, they don't have many hopes or opportunities because the majority of branches in the ESTA are for scientific students. This also applies for higher institutes. Therefore, the only outlets for them are university, law and private schools. Sincerely yours, Taourirt.

MOHAMED Posted 2008-06-16

Hi. I am a student in the second year of the baccalaureate. I am very sad because I repeated the year two times. This time I hope to God that I pass, Amen.

الدكتور محسن Posted 2008-06-17

Salam alikoum. The problem is serious my brothers; it is not about the baccalaureate itself, but rather what comes afterwards. In our experience, we find difficulty in communicating with students who studied in Arabic when we studied in French. This is the real problem. Either secondary studies should be in French or studies at the university should be in Arabic. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, concerning the baccalaureate, for me, it is not a fair judge of the students because some of them don’t deserve the distinction awarded to them while others deserve a lot and they receive only a satisfactory pass on their certificate. Here I would like to mention the role of grading, the role of the grader and the role of the supervisor. Therefore, I say: fear God in the students' papers. For this reason, I suggest that students take an exam in all the superior schools, then those who know and those who don’t know won’t get the same scores. Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you.

hassnaa Posted 2008-06-17

Salam. I am very scared about the results. Pray with me to pass. I wish success to everyone. The exam was difficult. The teachers were discriminatory and didn’t offer equal opportunities. It is clear, all the students have cheated. Only those who didn’t leave their tables didn't cheat.

Honestly I was very angry. I had a good grade point average in the first term. People had 16 and 17 while sitting next to the Internet. I had 15 in the first and second terms. If you don’t pass, come and cut my face. My friend had 5 in the national exam, 15 in the first term, 14 in the second term and she passed with a satisfactory grade. Pray with me in the second session. I study economics; it is the hideous French section which is worsening things. With wishes of success to everyone.

jihane Posted 2008-06-18

Salam alaikoum. What I wanted to say about the baccalaureate exam is that there is a lot of cheating. Those who don’t deserve to pass are those who pass. It is normal that if your father is influential or rich, you will secure the baccalaureate and even the best job. The choice is yours. Ok, may God reward everyone. Salam.

rachida Posted 2008-06-18

Salam alikoum my brothers. I am a student in the baccalaureate. I did well in the exam but I haven’t passed. Therefore I am very sorry for that. But I see that those who the baccalaureate did nothing with it. So why should I be sad if our country is like this? All this unemployment. I hope that it will improve in the future. I ask God to grant success to the candidates who will sit for the second session.

mounir9999999 Posted 2008-06-18

There are many thieves in the country. One can be almost sure that he will pass but be astonished by the second session. Anyway, if anyone is unjust to me on one grade, I won’t forgive him before God the Almighty…

Honestly, I am sad for the students who failed the baccalaureate exams as I myself am experiencing this hard period. All I can say is that we should not give in to our concerns and the difficulties facing us. If we look at the current education system, we find that it is dilapidated and creatomg many vices for the students. It doesn’t know the true meaning of justice and democracy. Peace and mercy of God be upon you.

hakima Posted 2008-06-18

I congratulate the students who passed. May God grant patience to the students who failed, and success to those who will take the second session. May God bring good. With this low passing rate, I was scared by God. God is the protector. That is all.

youssra Posted 2008-06-18

Salam. What I wanted to say is that if God ordered that you repeat the academic year, you must study and make an effort, God will help. I personally didn't passed the baccalaureate last year. I repeated the year. Praise be to God, as I passed this year. You need only patience and determination, you must work alone, don’t rely on anyone and God willing you will get good results. There is no despair with life. May God grant you success and make difficult things easy for you.

أستاد Posted 2008-06-18

Peace and mercy of God the Almighty be upon you. Firstly, congratulations to those students successful in the first session. We wish success to the candidates in the second session. We are sorry for those who were unsuccessful. We wish them success next year.

But unfortunately, we find ourselves among the candidates headed to the second session. We hope the graders will be a bit more careful in their grading. We hope that they will consider the second session as it is the only hope for us students of the life and earth sciences. We wish success to everyone.

I passed the baccalaureate exam but my grade was below my expectations because the graders weren’t qualified, especially in philosophy which was catastrophic.

This is unacceptable, by God, unacceptable, God suffices me and he is the best protector. May God take revenge on the person who made me fail. I will claim my rights with my hands whether I pass this baccalaureate or not. It is like finding a treasure. Praise be to God for every good thing. A greeting from Ouazzane to all the Moroccan students.

I am unhappy because I wasn’t successful in the baccalaureate. I wasn’t expecting that. This made lose my desire for everything. I have become keen on being alone and staying at home for hours to the point that I have noticed a big change in the attitude of my friends towards me. Now I am lost amidst my thoughts and sorrows. What can I do in your opinion? Thank you.

noor el hoda Posted 2008-06-21

Thank you Yousra for that nice advice. Can you tell me what was grade in the regional exam and with which grade you got the baccalaureate?

البوزيدي المغربي Posted 2008-06-21

We have been wondering for the last ten years about the future of education in Morocco. Is it pragmatic? In other words, what does the future have in store for baccalaureate holders and university graduates? The Educational system is threatened. We are on the edge of an abyss, we must… God knows.

Peace and mercy of God be upon you. I am a student. I study now at the ESTA after being unsuccessful in the baccalaureate for two years. I took the second session but had 9.98. Isn’t this a shame? There were some guys with me who didn’t know how to write their names but finally they passed thanks to their rich parents. By God, this is a shame on them. Now my father is always offending me for not getting the baccalaureate by God. But what can I do? I am not lucky. I read in your comments some readers saying that if you study, you will pass. But these are lies. I had 17 in the two semesters and I didn’t pass. I don’t know. I know many people who gave money and passed. Shame on you, by God.

Salaam.

I won’t say that the exam was difficult or blame the teachers. But where is democracy? I will take the second session and I don’t know even my grades from the first.

faty Posted 2008-06-25

I have nothing to say. Everything that I say is true. May God take revenge on the correctors if they have cheated us.

nawal Posted 2008-06-25

Salam alikum everyone. What I will tell you is the following: may God reward everyone according to his intention. May God take revenge. May God bring us good results in this second session.

sofia Posted 2008-06-27

I ask God that the second session will be easy, that teachers will be a little understanding and not be severe with us in correcting because we need to pass.

نادية Posted 2008-06-27

Salam alikum. I am a student from Zagoura. There is one thing. You were unfair to the people of Foum Essour. This is the first time it happens in Tamkroute. This is a shame.

fatima Posted 2008-06-30

For the brother, there is nothing. If you get the baccalaureate with a 10 grade, just go and do what you said you will do. Because in this country, you should take the baccalaureate with a 14 grade and more. Otherwise, you should find someone to pay for you a private school. But if only they could find solutions for us to study and teachers to explain to us. By God we would have received more than 14. This year I haven't studied English and I don't even know what it is about. So I said to myself that I would try to study it alone but I nearly got mad.

khalid Posted 2008-06-30

I am one of the students who was a victim of the regional exam and the correction of teachers, especially the teacher who corrected my math papers. May God take revenge on the one who was unfair to me. I hope that the subjects of the second session will be up to standard.

mohamed Posted 2008-06-30

Oh Lord grant success to everyone.

abd el hanin Posted 2008-06-30

I am a poor student studying in the baccalaureate. I had 10.77. I will take the second session because a [expletive] gave me zero in English.

.......... Posted 2008-06-30

Salam alikoum. We ask you to make the mock exam easy. The questions of the national exam were beyond our reach. Our only hope now is the second session.

fati Posted 2008-07-01

May God guide you. Tamgroute Zagoura in the Sour.

فدوى Posted 2008-07-03

The second session of the baccalaureate was very difficult.

محمد Posted 2008-07-04

I am a student from Meknes. I say as a student that there are no more good studies in this Morocco. They pass just by cheating without lying to God. Everyone knows the cheating that goes on during the day of the exam. May God guide everyone. Salam alaikum.

ياسين Posted 2008-07-04

There are no more studies in Morocco, especially in Zagora where even those who start in the 12th month can get the baccalaureate or beg for it in front of the mosque. May God take revenge.

ايمان Posted 2008-07-07

I ask God Almighty to grant success to everyone. I hope from the Lord to pass in the second session even if some subjects were difficult. I also hope that the respectable teachers will correct with conscience. Imane from Casablanca.

مهند Posted 2008-07-07

Praise be to God for everything.

السوسي Posted 2008-07-08

Please, if anyone has a site for the results, give it to me. May God reward you with good.

salim Posted 2008-07-15

Why do you offer a second session and you know how many will pass? Why are you unfair to literature students? This is too much. We have studied all the programme. What do you want more? We did all our efforts, but why all this, why?

رياص Posted 2008-07-27

Very good overall.

sara -tetouan Posted 2008-08-31

Hi. I am one of the students who succeeded in the baccalaureate literature exam. I want to say to some of my colleagues who say that they studied hard but failed, studying hard isn’t enough. The important thing is that you must understand as well the moral condition with which you enter on the day of the exam. I haven’t learnt the lessons by heart but during the last ten days I understood the lessons and passed. I was sure that I won’t pass. But, praise be to God, I passed in the first session. Many students with me failed because they learnt the lessons by heart without understanding them. I wish success to those who will sit for the baccalaureate next year. I tell them don’t rely on the idea that you studied but failed. Review your courses and understand your lessons. Take it from my experience.

said fes Posted 2008-12-27

This country has shed a lot of blood for two lines of ink. Even the fraudulent minister of education has misled us with conjugation. Before you read or understand, look where to work. We will never understand each other with the government even if we both speak Arabic.

أمين Posted 2009-01-15

I am a student repeating the year. I got a grade point average of 9.99 in the national exam. By God, this is unacceptable for one grade, shame on them. They were unfair to me. A student got 4 in the regional exam and passed. How do you find this? Is it not injustice?

غفران Posted 2009-01-31

Salam alikum. I am very scared I will fail. I want to pass. Can you help me?

Ayman Posted 2009-02-05

Hi my friends- So, I am going to take my bac exam this year and I think that the problem is with how long the exam lasts. In this regard, I ask the people in charge to take this problem into consideration and to fix the exam so that it corresponds to a given time. So, thank you. Stay strong, all you bac students. May god bring you success with honours.

hoda Posted 2009-02-06

The second session is more difficult. This is maybe because officials do not want a big number of students to pass, especially in the southern regions, which always try to avoid the success of a big number of pupils- those that are very ambitious and have many aptitudes.

نجوى Posted 2009-02-11

Those who want to pass don't sleep. Some just wander and in the end they come to say I haven't passed. Stop complaining. Thank you.

نجوى Posted 2009-02-11

hi everybody ! i wich succeded in the exam of bac and for all thanks

soukara Posted 2009-02-16

Salam alikum dear brothers. I am, praise be to God, a student in sciences. I have received last year the baccalaureate with a grade point average of 17.23. But I didn’t get any prize. The oddest thing is that the principal of the school awarded a prize to a girl who had 15 but I who got 17 didn’t receive any prize. If you are hard-working, you will take the baccalaureate with hard work. Don’t expect the sky to drop gold. Bye dear ones.

رضوان الراوي 068322775 Posted 2009-02-24

Passing the baccalaureate exams is dependent on the skill of the teacher and his will to teach his course and the level of interest of the pupil in that course no matter which course it is. But unfortunately, we find that cheating is predominant in all cases. Cheating is not just limited to the phenomenon of copying, negligence of some teachers in monitoring, even teachers and administrative staff are the source of teaching. They make it possible for powerful and rich people to buy the baccalaureate by corrupting monitoring, correcting teachers and teachers who wrote the exams who are controlled by the authority. This means corrupting authority members. This carelessness by officials influences the psychology of teachers. Therefore, the way he communicates with the student changes. This is the same for the pupil. The latter tries to get good results by all means including hard work and hypocrisy of teachers. This casts doubt about the moral values of both sides. My advice to the ministry of education is that the training of teachers lacks psychological training with teenagers at high school and corruption. To be continued.

kamal Posted 2009-04-05

I hope from God Almighty to grant us success to pass the baccalaureate, oh Lord, Amen.

سهام casa Posted 2009-04-13

Salam alikum. I will soon sit for the exam this year. Last year’s national exam was easy not difficult. But you have scared me. I have 11.98 in the regional exam and 15 in class exams. I have a problem in physics. It scares me. May God assist everyone and grant success to all of us. May He take revenge against anyone who acts unjustly to us. I ask God’s forgiveness.

KHADIJA Posted 2009-05-09

If you study, you will pass. Forget doubts Moroccans.

jawad el aymani Posted 2009-05-17

According to what I see, the level of education has dropped as a result of the carelessness of pupils about studying.

mariam tanger Posted 2009-05-20

Hi, listen to me. I would like to tell all the students, may God grant us success. Honestly, I am scared about the exam because only 15 days are left before the exam of 2009 and I have just begun studying. However, the lessons are difficult especially the nice philosophy. I had 7 in the regional exam. I study literature. I study in the high school Ibn Khatib in Tangier. Anyway, my brothers reply to me and give me some hope. Oh Lord grant us success. If I want to pass, I must get 10.50 in the national exam. Reply to me, may God protect you.

ayoub Posted 2009-05-25

I am Ayoub. I study in the sixth year. I would like to tell you may God grant you success brothers. Intensify your prayers and salam. God doesn’t forget His subjects. May God grant you success.

taki Posted 2009-05-28

Salam alikum. Don't be scared brothers. The exam will proceed anyway. Those who don't pass this year can pass next year. Life goes on like this. Salam (MAT).

assia Posted 2009-05-29

Salam. Honestly, there should be no frustration. Success is in our hands with some work, patience and study, we will pass. We should not assign everything to the government. Success or failure is in our hands. I wish success to everyone.

lmohem Posted 2009-05-30

Salam alikum. My opinion is that the situation of high schools in Morocco is really terrible!! you know it. Before we talk about pupils, we must talk about teachers because there are many teachers who don't deserve to be so!! We have stupid teachers in Morocco, honestly. I am talking about the majority. At least 60%, praise be to God. Ok, I think the error comes from top, top, teachers' school. From top. Salam. I am sleepy, I will leave you now. Salam.

nabil_elqochi Posted 2009-06-03

My brother students. We live in a Morocco which witnesses a degradation in the field of educational management. For example, the problem of scholarship is a serious problem. Most students don't get it. Secondly, university transport is a real catastrophe. I remember we used hitch-hiking in order to get closer to our houses every time. In addition there are internal problems including the tyranny of some arrogant lecturers. I will mention you in particular the story of a teacher who has a problem with the colour of the clothes of students. When he sees a student wearing a colour he dislikes, he is unjust with him in the final score, unfortunately. There are numerous problems but students are inactive. No one expresses their problems clearly and audaciously. There are only a few bearded students who try to show off in front of deans to achieve the minimum of the requirements of students. Anyway, I think that the ministry of national education needs change or review its regulations and bylaws. Anyway, as a student, I protest against such behaviours and attitudes which are endured by students including discrimination and other acts. We students are really repressed. However, we aspire to a better future God willing.

ABDE LHAK Posted 2009-06-08

I don't think that the baccalaureate still has any value. Honestly, one wants the baccalaureate because some who are weak in studies have received it.

imad Posted 2009-06-09

Salam alikum. This year I am in the baccalaureate and I expect to sit for the second session. May God grant success to everyone, oh Lord.

رشيد العيساوي Posted 2009-06-11

When will the results of the bac 2009 be announced?

نبيلة Posted 2009-06-11

Salam alikum my brother students. My health condition didn't allow me to sit for the regular session of the baccalaureate exam. Now I have one chance, it is the second session. Do I have any hope to pass? I want a reply please.

فاطمة Posted 2009-06-14

Oh Lord grant us success and grant success to all Muslims.

najat Posted 2009-06-15

This year I am scared about failing in the exam. I want someone to help me, pray for me and for everyone to pass. Oh Lord grant me success and everyone. I am so scared about failing. I want to pass but I am scared about Arabic because it has broached figures in the social approach but all my friends say it is the romantic approach.

aaaaaaa Posted 2009-06-15

Salam- I am going to give you my point of view. I wish all the Moroccan students good luck with their grades. Well, I would like to provide one observation from my personal experience the scholastic programme was overloaded, particularly with subjects that were pointless for the students of the sciences. Indeed, it is true that knowing culture is necessary, but it is also necessary that a bac student deserves to be called a baccalaureate. This is why culture needs to be studied at the very last moment. And, this is not to mention French and everything that concerns French works. In my opinion, I think that there are seven subjects for bac students. They need to concentrate on communication on the one hand and on scientific vocabulary on the other and have supplemental studies in French and so on. In the end, I thank you.

safaa Posted 2009-06-15

I want the results for the 2009 bac exam, good or bad.

KHAOILA:16:6:2009 Posted 2009-06-16

I hope to get a very high score next year God willing. My field of study for the coming year is physics.

خديجة Posted 2009-06-17

What are baccalaureate results for the year 2009?

zineb Posted 2009-06-17

I want to say that passing is in the hands of the pupil not the teacher. How do you want people a pupil who doesn't study to pass?

simo Posted 2009-06-17

sons of **** there is still selling and buying in Morocco. I had 9.73, aren't you ashamed?

mhamed Posted 2009-06-17

I ask my brothers to provide me with the address of the site on which I can find results of 2009.

amine Posted 2009-06-17

Curse your father, curse education and curse the baccalaureate. I have been studying hard all year. I have been running, and cross the way but in the end, the second session. I advise you to lead a coup against the ministry of national education.

التاقي رص Posted 2009-06-17

Unfortunately, I haven't passed in this year 2009 in the baccalaureate. I hope to pass in the coming year. Pray for me to pass. An advice to everyone who is repeating this year, it is not too late. You shouldn't feel brothers and sisters disappointed and frustrated. Persevere and work hard. Your brother Taki.

LAILA Posted 2009-06-18

Look, honestly there is no education in these times. There is just favouritism. I personally despaired of studies. In 2008, I failed in the bac. By God I haven't sit again for the exam. I studied life and earth sciences. Now, praise be to God, I work in an agency as secretary. Things go well. What madness. If Morocco encouraged us and teachers understood us, we would have done well. There is just fraud. Salam.

Gangster Posted 2009-06-18

Hello everyone- I am really sorry about the bac exam results. It is because of the new education system, which has never heard of doing a study. Is this system going to improve the lives of the students or not? In Europe it does, but here it is the opposite. Each minister does what he wants. They are not even united. Whatever someone does, the others follow. Well, my dears, God willing, we hope that the system or, rather, the people who have power over our education will soon be changed. Also, they are lying about the percentage of candidates who pass. According to my calculations, it is just 27.76% of the candidates, equalling 87691 candidates in the first session and 121900 in the second. The rest do not have the luck of passing it the second session. According to these results, we see that the system leads the students to serious failure. We need to change the system; it is truly difficult. Regarding myself, I already took the bac back in 2005, but I still do not like this **** system.

mustapha Posted 2009-06-18

No one passed in Aouamra.

zhour Posted 2009-06-18

Salam alikum. I hope the second session will be a little easy so that we can pass and if possible give us samples of the second session so that we can have an idea. Thank you for this site.

sana et fati et latifa et hamid Posted 2009-06-19

Hi. please make the second session easy in order to pass even with 10. Many of us have died, may God rest their souls. Don't make it very difficult. Thank you. I will pray for you. Accounting subject was very tough (delegation of Anfa). Thank you.

meriem tanjaouiya Posted 2009-06-19

Hey, I was shocked when I failed and all my friends passed except me. Anyway, I will sit for the second session. But they were unjust to us and many failed.

fayza Posted 2009-06-19

Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you. I am of the students who weren't lucky to pass. But I praise God for granting me the opportunity of the second session. At the beginning, it was painful. But after some thought about this opportunity, I found myself bringing out my books again not just me even my twin brother. What I want to say is that God the Almighty lives us because He granted us this chance as though He took our souls and gave us life again. Praise be to God for everything. You might dislike something but it could bear you could. Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you.

sara Posted 2009-06-20

Salam alikum. Baccalaureate exams are a source of an extra living for graders and officials from parents. This country isn't democratic. There are just robbers and stealing exams from the poor who stayed up at nights and worked hard. May God take revenge. I have a call to graders and officials, do you think you won't die?

bobaker Posted 2009-06-21

Salam alikum. How are you, I wish you success all for those who passed and those who didn't. Thank you. Bye. (Agadir, Ait Melloul).

hassan de tiznit Posted 2009-06-24

What I want to say friends is that you should work hard and God will grant success to everyone. God assists the patient. I also have to sit for the second session. I was not expecting this. But things were reverses. This is an opportunity from God. I wish success to everyone.

رجاء Posted 2009-06-27

I am one of the candidates to the second session of the baccalaureate. I am scared. They say it is difficult. They organize it so that we won't feel sorry. They know only 1% will pass or less. Is this true or not? Reply to me please.

khalid Posted 2009-06-27

I just want to know who controls passing rate in the baccalaureate. Is it the state or efforts of the students to pass?

Anonymous Posted 2009-06-28

Now I say praise be to God but I won't forgive the teacher who was unjust to me in grading. May God take revenge on you. May God forgive you. May God ruin you as you have ruined us. May God take revenge against you. Oh Lord grant us success in the second session, oh Lord.

عليا من الدار البيضاء Posted 2009-06-30

In the name of God the Merciful the Beneficent. You know the baccalaureate is just luck if you cheat. I study well and I had 14 in the regional exam but I have to sit for the second session. Some who aren't serious passed.

soussou Posted 2009-07-08

By God the Almighty, this is a shame on the inspector who put the exam of English for the branch of arts. We are literary students not science student in order to present us a similar exam. We did nothing. We ask officials next year God willing to give us our own exam.

ماجدة Posted 2009-07-15

I have to sit for the second session.

karima Posted 2009-08-04

Hi everyone- Congratulations to all my friends who passed the exam. I am very happy for all the girls and young people. Indeed, I am truly happy for everyone. For all our brothers who did not pass, keep faith in your success in your life. Stay strong.

wahib raw3a Posted 2009-10-10

I had 18 in the regional exam and didn't pass the baccalaureate. This is unacceptable.

جيهان Posted 2009-10-15

Salam alikum. Concerning this topic, I will express my opinion with total transparency and credibility but without redundancy. I will sum up my words in a small famous expression very common in Moroccan society. I will show you through my previous experience in the baccalaureate exams how in Morocco this famous expression is relevant: if you copy you will pass, if you rely on yourself, you will remain in your class. Except for those who were saved by God. Thus, if the government doesn't change its attitude towards the educational system in Morocco, there will be no education in this country. We have began to feel this in recent years especially because Morocco is in the last rank in this regard. This shows well the lamentable situation of education. Therefore, we ask officials to consider this side and take firm decisions to improve the situation of education in Morocco. Though we are talking and talking, our only hope is in coming generations to consider this issue and exert all efforts to drive this country towards progress and prosperity. With my wishes of success to all students this year. I congratulate from my heart everyone who passed the baccalaureate with his own efforts and without cheating.

merita Posted 28 days ago

I failed in the baccalaureate but I hope this year I will be successful with a distinction. I have failed because last year I wasn’t serious and didn’t want to study. Honestly, those who work hard pass. But those who waste time in gossip won’t do anything in their lives.
