Gabon’s Education Sector Sees Normalcy with CEPE Physical and Sports Exams Launch. Libreville, Gabon – In a significant move towards the normalization of the education sector, the physical and sports exams (EPS) for the Certificat d’Études Primaires (CEP) commenced on Monday, April 27, 2026, marking a pivotal moment in Gabon’s educational landscape.
The EPS exams, an integral part of the CEP, are not merely a physical fitness assessment but also a symbol of progress within the Gabonese education system.
The Minister of National Education, Camélia Ntoutoume Leclercq, visited several exam centers in Owendo, Estuaire, to oversee the smooth conduct of the exams and to express her confidence in the system’s organization. Leclercq’s visit to the school public d’Awoungou and the complex scolaire d’Igoumié highlighted the government’s commitment to the education sector. She commended the efforts of students, noting their creativity and engagement, especially in the arts and cultural representations.
The Minister also emphasized the importance of maintaining academic continuity, despite the simultaneous holding of professional elections, calling for collective responsibility from teachers to ensure both educational continuity and student safety. With 49,508 candidates participating across the nation, the EPS exams are a critical milestone for primary school students.
The successful conduct of these exams is a testament to the resilience of the education sector in Gabon, as well as the government’s dedication to fostering a quality education for the country’s youth.
