French media outlet TF1 reported that the French Ministry of Education has decided to cancel all “Brevet” and “Baccalauréat” official exams in French educational institutions across the Middle East, including Lebanon.

The decision reportedly comes in light of the difficult conditions faced by students in the region amid armed conflicts and serious security risks. The government has not ruled out extending the measure to other regions, with a possible timeframe of up to 15 days before the exams begin, depending on geopolitical developments.
