Be careful! 51% of the points required to pass, suggests that the person did not pass as they only attained a little over half of what was required.
The sources actually means that the candidate scored 51% of the available marks/points etc. and therefore passed. (In FR systems, or those based on the FR scoring system, it is standard practice for a passmark to be set at 50%.
I think it would be agood idea to add a couple of words for clarification.
" X pour cent des points aux conditions de réussite fixées par l'ordonnance X":
"X percent of the marks [available] and required to pass according to ...X"

except for the personal details of this person, the rest is hardly any kind of "confidential". It's a standard form issued thousands and thousands of time!

Could we have AT LEAST the whole sentence? From the fragment you have quoted it's not even clear if this X% is the threshold for passing the exam or the score obtained at the exam.

Thank you. I understand this, but for some reason am having trouble rendering without adding too much!

Congo Fr = Belgian Fr and Belgian school system This is all very ordinary terminology. Just go through it one term/step at a time. 51% is still passing in Belgium. Nothing to do with US grading system.
