Results for the second part of the Baccalaureate (BAC II) in Togo, released on July 8, 2026, show a significant improvement in overall performance. According to official figures, 81.29% of candidates passed the exam, a notable increase compared to the previous two years.
Key Figures from the 2026 Session
A total of 75,844 candidates sat for the BAC II this year. Of these, 61,657 were declared successful, representing the 81.29% pass rate. The remaining 14,187 candidates, or 18.71%, were deferred. Breaking down the results further, 44,328 candidates (58.44% of the total cohort) passed in the first round. An additional 17,329 candidates (22.85%) earned their baccalaureate after the supplementary exams, bringing the overall success rate to more than eight out of ten candidates.
Top Performing Series
An analysis of results by academic series reveals that the Science Series C (Mathematics) achieved the highest pass rate, with an exceptional 97.68% of its 690 candidates succeeding. The Engineering Sciences Series E followed closely, posting a 96.29% success rate, with 26 passes out of just 27 candidates. The Industrial Technology Series Ti also performed strongly, recording a pass rate of 89.66%.
The Literary Series A4, which is the second-largest pool of candidates with 33,694 registered students, saw 87.84% of its candidates succeed. Other series with strong performances included F2 (85.4%), F3 (82.18%), and F1 (81.67%).
Series Below the National Average
Not all series fared as well. The Series G3 recorded the lowest pass rate, with 69.53% of its 3,804 candidates succeeding. The Experimental Sciences Series D, which had the largest number of candidates at 30,025, achieved a pass rate of 75.41%. Series G2 and F4 also posted results below the national average, with pass rates of 76.08% and 74.07%, respectively.
Year-on-Year Improvement
Compared to previous years, the 2026 session results mark a clear upward trend. The overall pass rate of 81.29% this year is a substantial improvement over the 72.63% recorded in 2025 and the 46.71% seen in 2024. This steady increase suggests ongoing efforts to strengthen educational outcomes in Togo, particularly in the science and technology streams, which continue to lead the way in performance.
According to a report from the original source, the data reflects the official figures released by the relevant authorities. The strong showing in the Science and Engineering series underscores a broader emphasis on STEM education, which is often linked to national development goals. The improvement over the past two years also points to potential systemic changes in curriculum, exam preparation, or grading standards, though the source does not specify the exact causes behind the rising pass rates.
As Togo continues to invest in its education sector, the 2026 BAC II results offer a snapshot of where the system is succeeding and where further attention may be needed. The wide variation in pass rates between series—from nearly 98% in Mathematics to under 70% in Series G3—highlights the disparities that exist within the system. For students and families, these figures provide a clear picture of which academic paths currently offer the highest likelihood of success.
