This Tuesday, July 7, the 740,584 baccalaureate candidates will know the results. After a year more than tormented, marked by the demonstrations against the reform of the vat, the epidemic of Covid, the cancellation of the final exam, in favor of the continuous control, the baccalaureate 2020 will thus know its epilogue this Tuesday. Never since 1968 has the bac experienced such a upheaval. At the time in 68, the exam had been shaken up by the social movement in May and the written tests canceled. So, will the 2020 bac be a new “1968 bac”? With the reputation of a discount baccalaureate "given" to candidates? Immersion in the archives of the bac 1968.
