According to Burkina Information Agency, the administration of the 2025 baccalaureate oral and written exams commenced across the nation on Tuesday, June 24.

Dr. Sawadogo took the opportunity to extend his gratitude to the regional authorities and the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) for their efforts in ensuring the exams took place in a peaceful atmosphere, despite prevailing security challenges in the locality.

The minister also recalled a decree from the Burkinabe legislature, established on May 2, 2025, that mandates a patriotic immersion program for new high school graduates, who are seen as the country's future leaders.
