Ministry of Education announces exam timetable for grades 1-6 students

The Ministry of Education in the Government of National Unity has officially published the examination schedule for the completion certificate of the primary education stage (second round) for the 2025-2026 academic year. The announcement applies to students studying within Libya, as well as students in Libyan schools abroad. This marks a significant milestone for hundreds of thousands of primary school students across the country.

The second round examinations serve as a critical opportunity for students who did not successfully complete the first round. According to ministry officials, approximately 15-20% of students typically improve their results during the second round, demonstrating the value of additional study time.

Exam Schedule Details and Timeline

The second round exams for primary school students (grades 1-6) will be conducted according to the timetable released by the Ministry. The schedule covers all subjects including Arabic, English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. The examinations are scheduled to begin on August 15, 2026, and conclude by September 5, 2026.

The exam period has been carefully planned to accommodate different regions across Libya. Students in Tripoli, Benghazi, and Misrata will have designated exam halls at their respective schools, while remote areas will operate through regional education offices.

The Ministry has coordinated with the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics to maintain security and order during the examination period. All exam centers have been assigned specific room numbers with detailed maps available on the Ministry's official website.

Registration Process and Required Documentation

Parents are advised to ensure their children are registered for the second round exams by August 10, 2026. Registration can be completed through the Ministry's official website or at local education centers.

The Ministry has also issued comprehensive guidelines for exam preparation:

  • Students should review the syllabus covered in the first round to identify knowledge gaps
  • Examination materials will be distributed on the day of each exam by proctors
  • Students must bring original identification documents (national ID or passport)
  • Snacks and drinks are permitted in designated areas outside exam halls
  • Electronic devices are strictly prohibited inside examination rooms
  • Arriving 30 minutes before the scheduled exam time is mandatory

Libya-Wide Coordination and Regional Implementation

The Ministry has coordinated with education authorities across all Libyan cities to ensure standardized administration. This includes synchronized exam papers and answer sheets to maintain academic integrity nationwide.

Educational experts note that the second round provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate improved knowledge after additional study. The pass rate for the second round typically sees a 15-20% improvement over first-round results.

International Student Provisions

Libyan schools abroad will follow the same examination schedule. The Ministry has liaised with embassies and cultural centers in countries including Saudi Arabia and UAE to facilitate smooth exam administration for expatriate students.

Results for international students are expected to be announced by September 20, 2026, one week after domestic results.

Technical Support and Educational Resources

The Ministry has established a comprehensive helpline for parents and students with questions about the exam schedule. The support center operates from 8 AM to 6 PM daily during the exam period.

Sample questions and past exam papers have been uploaded to the Ministry's learning portal. These resources are available in both Arabic and English to assist students and parents in effective preparation.

The Government of National Unity reaffirms its commitment to quality education and aims to ensure all students have fair access to assessment opportunities.
