Translated from French, summarized and contextualized by DistantNews.
TLDR
- The Ministry of National Education in the Democratic Republic of Congo has published the official fees for the 2026 national certification exams (EXETAT and TENASOSP).
- The fees vary by province, with specific amounts listed for TENASOSP, out-of-session EXETAT, and ordinary session EXETAT exams.
- The ministry emphasized that the ENAFEP exam remains free and urged the public to use only official channels for information, providing a hotline for reporting or clarification.
The Ministry of National Education and New Citizenship has taken a significant step in clarifying the financial aspects of national certification exams by releasing the official fees for the 2026 edition of EXETAT and TENASOSP. This transparency is crucial for students, parents, and educational institutions across the Democratic Republic of Congo as they prepare for these pivotal examinations.
The detailed breakdown of fees, which differ across various provinces such as Bas-Uele, Equateur, and Haut-Katanga, allows for informed planning. While the TENASOSP and EXETAT exams come with associated costs, it is vital to highlight the ministry's commitment to ensuring the ENAFEP exam remains entirely free of charge. This ensures that educational opportunities are not unduly hindered by financial barriers for all Congolese citizens.
Radio Okapi, in reporting this announcement, underscores the importance of relying solely on official communication channels to prevent misinformation. The provision of a dedicated hotline (178) for denunciations or clarification requests further demonstrates the ministry's dedication to accessibility and accountability. This proactive approach aims to safeguard the integrity of the examination process and provide clear guidance to all stakeholders involved.
