It will be case by case. The president of the Conference of University Presidents (CPU), Gilles Roussel, indicated this Saturday that there would be no "systematic" postponement of the examinations scheduled for next week in the universities, while the strike against the pension reform continues in transport.

"There is no systematic postponement, no endangerment of exams," he said, while acknowledging that "it can happen punctually" in certain departments and for certain sectors. Or on the days of the strike call, "if the teachers declare themselves to be on strike".

Universities have taken the lead

The disruptions in transport, which must continue next week - a large demonstration is notably planned for Thursday January 9 in Paris - had led in December several universities to postpone partial. The Panthéon-Sorbonne University (Paris 1), which had already canceled or postponed certain partials at the end of 2019, has also announced on its website a postponement of the exams scheduled from Monday. They will be spread over three weeks, between January 13 and February 1.

According to Gilles Roussel, in the event of postponement, "the exams would be moved a few days".
