Mauritius primary school pupils sitting the 2026 Primary School Achievement Certificate (PSAC) exams now have their timetable confirmed. The Mauritius Examinations Syndicate (MES) — the national body responsible for organising public examinations in Mauritius — released the schedule on 18 September.
**What is the PSAC?**
The PSAC is the national examination taken by pupils at the end of Standard 6, the final year of primary school in Mauritius. Results determine how students are placed in secondary schools across the country, making it one of the most significant academic milestones in a Mauritian child's education.
**The Full Exam Timetable**
Exams will run over six days, from Wednesday 22 October to Monday 27 October 2026:
- **Wednesday 22 October:** French and Science
- **Thursday 23 October:** English
- **Saturday 25 October:** History, Geography, and Oriental/Creole languages — including Arabic, Kreol Morisien (Mauritian Creole), and Kreol Rodrige (Rodrigues Creole)
- **Monday 27 October:** Mathematics
The weekend break between Thursday and Saturday gives pupils a short window to regroup before the languages and humanities papers.
**What this means for families**
With the timetable published on 18 September, pupils, parents, and teachers have just over five weeks to finalise revision plans. The sequencing — starting with French and Science before moving to English, then humanities, and closing with Mathematics — mirrors the broad curriculum structure of Mauritian primary education.
For families with children sitting PSAC, now is the time to structure revision around these specific dates, particularly ensuring Mathematics and English — often the most competitive papers — receive adequate attention in the final weeks.
**Secondary exams already under way**
Meanwhile, Mauritius secondary school examinations are already in progress. The School Certificate (SC), taken at the end of Form V (roughly equivalent to GCSEs in the UK), and the Higher School Certificate (HSC), taken at the end of Form VI (A-level equivalent), are both currently being sat and will continue until 13 November 2026.
The MES oversees all three major national examinations — PSAC, SC, and HSC — and coordinates logistics across examination centres island-wide, including in Rodrigues.
