So it will be Friday morning, and not another day. The Minister of Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, was again very clear Thursday night, the day before the results of the baccalaureate: "All students will have their results Friday," he repeated on the occasion of a press point. Strike correctors or not.
"700 correctors" strikers still retain "30,000 copies"
They are still 700 strikers, out of 175,000, to refuse to return their copies: "that's 0.35%", minimizes the minister, who describes the phenomenon as "marginal". According to him, "around 30,000 copies" are thus concerned, out of 4 million in total. In such a case, it will be the note of the continuous control that will be taken into account.
Juries disrupted on Thursday
To express their dissatisfaction, several professors refused to sit on Thursday. In some places, we have almost even come to blows, say some principals from Europe 1. Several dozen juries were involved, according to the unions and collective strikers. The department talks about a fortnight only.
In fact, however, there was no blocking, but reduced juries, or correctors who agreed to sit but stopped on files where notes were missing. For them, to take the note of the continuous control rather than that of the vat represents a "break of equality" since the same treatment will not be applied to all the candidates. In the evening, some 400 strike correctors were gathered at the Bourse du Travail, in Paris, to decide what to do next.
Handwritten notes if necessary
Juries that have fallen behind in the day will have to sit later. And heads of centers will take notes themselves by hand, part of the evening or night. Because everything will have to be ready at 8:30.
