"At this time, we speak hundreds of copies not returned and no longer in thousands," said Monday the Minister of Education, while some of the teachers remain mobilized against his reform of the baccalaureate.

The Minister of Education Jean-Michel Blanquer, welcomed Monday near Bordeaux under the hoots of a hundred or so demonstrators, assured that the first day of oral remedial baccalaureate had "passed in accordance with what 'we wanted, under somewhat exceptional circumstances'.

"At this time, we speak hundreds of copies not returned and no longer in thousands," he said mid-afternoon in Lormont, promising a "complete assessment at the end of the day." "Our goal is obviously the interest of the student despite the action of a few who represent only a tiny minority compared to the 175,000 teachers involved in the corrections," he insisted.

"We have guaranteed the principle of equality"

In the face of the strike, the minister set up a "technical solution": in the event of missing notes, those of the continuous control were taken into account. And if the note bac is ultimately better, it will be preserved.
"All that has been done is in the interest of the pupils, no one is wronged, some even have a better score because of the provisional note, we have guaranteed the principle of equality in exceptional circumstances. astonishing is that some create disorder and then scream for disorder, we can not do that, I put things in order, we were able to contain the problems as much as possible, "said the minister.

"I remain confident and serene, we have done the right thing and some have not been able to use the ferry as a lever of protest," he added, denouncing a "small minority who has a firefighter attitude pyromaniac".

On his arrival in this suburb of Bordeaux, the minister was greeted with cries of "Blanquer resignation", by a hundred demonstrators opposed to his reform of the tray, holding placards "Blanquer recalé" or "2019 the ferry of the scam ". Protesters were then turned back by the police behind gates.

"It is a small number of people who seek to make noise and which are not representative of the majority of the professors," commented to the press Minister, traveling in the Gironde. "I have already done a lot of dialogue, contrary to what is said, this reform has been done in consultation with thousands of people and I have often met teachers unions. My door is open, I have to see the unions in the next few days, "he added.
