Egyptian Fourth Grade Results 2026 Released June 5 via National ID

1 The release of these results marks the end of a high-tension grading cycle. For thousands of families, the transition from the classroom to the digital portal is a moment of significant anxiety, as these “transfer years” determine a student’s trajectory into the next stage of basic education.

Giza’s Digital Rollout for Fourth and Fifth Graders

In Giza, the rollout is staggered by grade level. According to Youm7 reporting, results for fourth-grade students are scheduled for release this afternoon, June 5. Parents can access these scores through the Giza Directorate of Education’s official website by selecting the “result of the transfer years for basic education” option and entering the student’s National ID. The process for fifth graders is slightly different. While the urgency is similar, El-Watan notes that fifth-grade results are still undergoing final review and precision checks within the educational administrations. Once approved, these will follow the same digital path—National ID entry via the directorate’s portal—and will be posted physically within schools. This digital-first approach aims to reduce the traditional congestion at school gates, though the physical posting of results remains a mandatory fallback for those without reliable internet access.

Cairo and Alexandria: Sixth Grade Status and Timelines

The situation for sixth graders varies significantly by governorate. In Cairo, the wait is over. As reported by Al-Masry Al-Youm, results for sixth-grade students are already available via the Basic Education Portal and have been shared by several schools through their official Facebook pages. For students in Giza, the sixth-grade results are also becoming available, with options to search by either National ID or seat number. However, those in Alexandria are still in a holding pattern. Al-Ain News reports that the Alexandria Directorate of Education expects to announce results in the coming days. This delay is attributed to the recent Eid al-Adha holiday, which paused administrative work; officials are now working to finalize the correction and auditing of answer sheets. The discrepancy in timing between Cairo and Alexandria highlights the decentralized nature of the grading process, where each governorate’s timeline is dictated by its own internal review speed and holiday schedules.

The Color-Coded Grading Shift and Final Totals

One of the most critical shifts in the 2026 results is the move toward a competency-based visual representation of success, particularly for sixth graders. Rather than relying solely on raw percentages, schools are implementing a color-coded map to describe student performance.

• Blue: Reserved for students scoring between 85% and 100%, indicating the student “always exceeds expectations.”

According to Sada El-Balad, this system is designed to move away from the stress of a single number and toward a qualitative assessment of a student’s ability. Behind these colors, however, lies a rigorous mathematical aggregation. The final grade is not based on a single exam but is a cumulative total of three distinct components: This total determines whether a student is marked as “Pass” or “Second Session” (re-sit), ensuring that a single bad day during finals doesn’t necessarily derail a student’s entire academic year.

Financial Penalties and Language School Transfers

While the technical rollout of results is the primary focus, a more contentious administrative issue has surfaced regarding language schools. In a move that places significant pressure on families, some educational administrations have taken a hard line on unpaid tuition. Reports from Sada El-Balad indicate that grades for students in language schools who have not settled their fees are being withheld. More severely, some of these students are being transferred to Arabic-language schools as a result of these financial arrears. This policy creates a stark divide in the student population. While the “Blue” color-coding system aims to modernize and soften the psychological impact of grading, the withholding of results for financial reasons introduces a rigid, punitive element to the administrative process. As the remaining governorates, including Alexandria, finalize their uploads, the coming 72 hours will be critical for families. The shift toward digital portals has streamlined the process, but the underlying tension—between academic achievement, administrative deadlines, and financial obligations—remains the defining characteristic of the Egyptian primary school exit.
