1Which legal instrument created Burkina Faso’s employment of professeurs agrégés de l'enseignement secondaire?

A.Décret n°72-580 of 4 July 1972 on the French agrégation

B.A CAMES SJPEG regulation requiring LAFMA inscription

C.Décret n°2020-0245/PRES/PM/MINEFID/MFPTPS of 30 March 2020

D.Décret n°2019-1111 on the Répertoire interministériel des métiers de l'État (RIME) by itself

Explanation: Décret n°2020-0245/PRES/PM/MINEFID/MFPTPS of 30 March 2020 was the particular statut of the education, formation et promotion de l'emploi métier that created the employment of professeur agrégé de l'enseignement secondaire. It was modified by décret n°2024-0749/PRES/PM/MFPTPS/MEFP of 26 June 2024 and then recast by décret n°2025-1558/PF/PRIM/MFPTPS/MEF of 5 December 2025, so study the current statut for today's rules and 2020-0245 as the creating text. French décret n°72-580 and CAMES SJPEG rules govern other agrégations. RIME (2019-1111) catalogues State métiers; it did not by itself create this corps.

2On what date was décret n°2020-0245 signed, creating the agrégé secondary-teaching employment?

A.4 July 1972

B.30 March 2020

C.May 2021

D.19 September 2022

Explanation: Décret n°2020-0245 is dated 30 March 2020. 4 July 1972 is the French agrégation décret. May 2021 is the first Burkina professional concours for the new corps. 19 September 2022 is the education.gov.bf notice on CAPES-plus-four-years eligibility, not the creation date.

3Décret n°2020-0245 created which employment as the elite of Burkina Faso secondary teaching?

A.Professeur des écoles

B.Maître de conférences agrégé of CAMES

C.Professeur agrégé de l'enseignement secondaire

D.Inspecteur de l'enseignement de base

Explanation: The 2020 particular statut created the employment of professeur agrégé de l'enseignement secondaire as the elite of secondary teaching. Professeur des écoles is a primary employment. A CAMES maître de conférences agrégé is a university title. Basic-education inspectors are a different métier track.

4In the 2020 education-métier statut, professeurs agrégés de l'enseignement secondaire occupy which role?

A.The only teachers allowed in collège 6ème

B.University professors recruited by CAMES

C.The elite of secondary teaching

D.Contractual primary literacy monitors

Explanation: The employment was created as the elite of secondary teaching — senior lycée practitioners above ordinary certifiés. It does not monopolize collège 6ème, does not confer a CAMES university chair, and is not a primary literacy contract.

5Burkina Faso’s agrégation de l'enseignement secondaire is legally which of the following?

A.The CAMES SJPEG university agrégation

B.The French agrégation under décret n°72-580

C.The CAMES medicine, pharmacy or veterinary agrégation

D.A national MSP professional concours for secondary-school agrégés

Explanation: This pathway is a Burkina Faso national professional concours opened by the Ministère des Serviteurs du Peuple (MSP) for professeurs agrégés de l'enseignement secondaire. It is not CAMES SJPEG, not CAMES health agrégation, and not the French agrégation of décret n°72-580.

6How does the agrégé secondary corps relate to CAPES-certified teachers (professeurs certifiés)?

A.It abolishes CAPES and converts every certifié automatically

B.Agrégés and certifiés hold identical civil-service employment

C.CAPES is only a primary-school certificate

D.It is a higher elite employment; CAPES remains the certified secondary certificate

Explanation: CAPES remains the certificate of professeurs certifiés. The 2020 statut added a distinct elite employment of professeurs agrégés, later filled by professional concours among CAPES holders with seniority. The two corps coexist; agrégé status is not automatic and CAPES is not a primary certificate.

7Décret n°72-580 of 4 July 1972 governs which body of teachers?

A.Burkina Faso professeurs agrégés de l'enseignement secondaire

B.CAMES SJPEG maîtres de conférences agrégés

C.French professeurs agrégés de l'enseignement du second degré, not the Burkina 2020 employment

D.All ENS stagiaires in Koudougou by automatic reception

Explanation: Décret n°72-580 is the French statut particulier of professeurs agrégés de l'enseignement du second degré. Burkina’s agrégé secondary employment rests on décret n°2020-0245. Sharing the word agrégation does not import French or CAMES law into MSP recruitment.

8What is the official language of Burkina Faso’s agrégation de l'enseignement secondaire concours?

A.English for all written papers

B.Moore exclusively

C.Mandatory French–English bilingual papers in every option

D.French

Explanation: Official papers, communiqués and option result PDFs are in French, the official language of the State and of this professional concours. English MCQ banks are study adaptations, not the official format. Moore is widely spoken but is not the language of the agrégation papers. There is no rule that every option sits bilingual French–English papers.

9The 2020 particular statut that includes the agrégé secondary employment belongs to which métier grouping?

A.Santé publique

B.Justice et droits humains

C.Éducation, formation et promotion de l'emploi

D.Enseignement supérieur et recherche exclusively

Explanation: Décret n°2020-0245 is the particular statut of the métier éducation, formation et promotion de l'emploi. The agrégé secondary employment sits in that education-métier family, not in health, justice, or as a CAMES higher-education exclusive statut.

10The agrégation de l'enseignement secondaire created in 2020 is which kind of title?

A.A pan-African CAMES title valid in all member States by default

B.A French national concours merely hosted in Ouagadougou

C.A WAEMU-wide teacher licence

D.A Burkina Faso national civil-service employment

Explanation: Professeur agrégé de l'enseignement secondaire is a Burkina Faso State employment created by a national décret and filled by an MSP professional concours. It is not a CAMES regional grade, not the French agrégation, and not a WAEMU licence.

About the Burkina Agrégation Secondaire Exam

Burkina Faso's agrégation de l'enseignement secondaire is a distinct employment from the French or CAMES university agrégation. Décret n°2020-0245/PRES/PM/MINEFID/MFPTPS (30 March 2020) created professeurs agrégés de l'enseignement secondaire as the elite secondary-teaching corps; that statut was modified by décret n°2024-0749 of 26 June 2024 and recast by décret n°2025-1558/PF/PRIM/MFPTPS/MEF of 5 December 2025. The first professional concours sat in May 2021; education.gov.bf (19 September 2022) states it is open to CAPES holders with four years of seniority. MSP announced a 2026 professional concours for 75 élèves professeurs agrégés. Results are issued per option (fonction-publique.gov.bf published a 2025 Français admissibility PDF). Official assessment is in French. This free English MCQ bank trains the shared statut, pedagogy and lycée-leadership knowledge of the pathway; it is not an official translation or a format simulation.
