Several continuous control tests of the new baccalaureate were disrupted this week in high schools in the West, such as Rennes or Nantes, we learned from concordant sources. The rectorate of the Rennes academy, where three establishments saw the events disrupted this week, condemned the incidents.
"It is always very unfortunate when the staff are rushed and can not hold what is prepared long term," said Stéphane Caron, chief of staff to the rector of the academy. "It's deplorable: we have adults who come to the establishment and symbolically sometimes put their banner across the portal or make a bunch of trash in front of the school," he added.
Chairs removed, access to blocked corridors
This Wednesday morning, in a high school in the Breton capital, "a hundred students disrupted the tests by removing tables and chairs from the composition rooms and blocking access to the corridors," said Philippe Debray, principal of the Bréquigny high school. , in a letter to parents. "We firmly condemn this type of behavior which prohibits high school students from taking the baccalaureate exams that we had prepared," he added, adding that the exams were postponed to February 5.
In a press release, the SNES union estimated that “the measures of intimidation on the part of the heads of establishments or the police are multiplying: identity checks, threats of zeros… whereas the dysfunctions noted will oblige the 'administration to organize a replacement session or to neutralize the tests'.
Retired teachers to replace strikers
For the rector, "appropriate measures to reconvene the tests when they were disrupted" this week concerned three establishments out of 90. According to Hervé Réby, president of Snalc (National Union of High Schools and Colleges) of the Academy of Nantes, many public high schools have been affected "by surveillance strikes or blockades, resulting in postponements of the tests", as in Angers, Pornic, La Roche-sur-Yon, Le Mans or Nantes.
In several establishments, including that of Pornic or one of Nantes, retired teachers were asked to come and monitor the tests, in the absence of striking teachers, according to the same source.
According to the Ministry of Education, "the introduction of a portion of continuous assessment in the new baccalaureate aims to better enhance the regularity of work and the progress of students".
