Students on the Jussieu university campus, in Paris, on February 22, 2018. -

CHAMUSSY / SIPA

A zero point because sick of Covid-19?

A history student explained on Twitter that she received this note at a face-to-face partial, despite sending a medical certificate to her university.

It's a reality.

If you are unlucky enough to have the Covid you eat a 0 automatically.

It is marked in black and white: "whatever the proof".

The hour is serious, we need to be heard and supported.

Today more than ever.

“No student can be exempted from exam”, his university replied, “regardless of the supporting document provided”.

FAKE OFF

Is this explanation legal?

Even the Ministry of Higher Education has lost its Latin.

Initially, the services of the ministry explained that “substitution sessions must be organized”, this “in order not to penalize the students having to remain in isolation”.

The next day, January 8, the ministry changes its response: the organization of remedial sessions is no longer compulsory, but optional.

"After feedback from Internet users to the direction of higher education, it turns out that the holding of replacement exams for patients with Covid-19 or in contact is not an obligation but a recommendation", the ministry said on Twitter, while presenting its "apologies" for "this error".

After feedback from Internet users to the Directorate of Higher Education (DGESIP), it turns out that the holding of replacement exams for patients with covid-19 or in contact is not an obligation but a recommendation. .

Please excuse us for this error.

To avoid contamination, the ministry recommends that students “limit their contacts” and “avoid risky situations” 14 days before their exams or competitions.

The organization of face-to-face exams, after several months of distance learning, raised the opposition of many students, worried about the health context.
