This 2019-2020 school year, and consequently the 2020 European Baccalaureate session,
has been strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, special measures have
had to be taken.

At its meeting of 15-17 April 2020 the Board of Governors decided, among others, with respect
to the European Baccalaureate session 2020 the following:
1. The written and oral examinations will not take place. As a consequence, no written
or oral mark will be taken into consideration for the calculation of the Final
European Baccalaureate mark.
2. The Final European Baccalaureate mark will be awarded based on A and B marks
only. The Final Mark will be calculated using the part of the Baccalaureate mark
formula which does not make use of the marks to the oral and written exams.
3. Moderation will intervene whenever the difference in the distribution of final marks
in comparison to previous years is statistically relevant.
