At least 14 unfortunate candidates in the 2019 baccalaureate, marked by many dysfunctions, have appealed to the administrative courts to denounce a "breach of equality," said Tuesday the Ministry of Education. Seven appeals were rejected before hearing and an eighth was in early August in Paris after an interlocutory hearing, said a spokesman for the ministry. The remaining six appeals must be considered "this week or the following week," according to this source.
The 2019 edition of the ferry, the penultimate in its current form, was disrupted by a strike surveillance, leaks, shells in the statements and especially a strike correctors, opposed to the reform of the ferry and the high school. This strike forced the Ministry of Education to take into account notes from the continuous review of copies of the selected baccalaureate - in order to be able to communicate their results to all students on time.
90,000 candidates failed for the 2019 edition
The Conseil d'Etat reported 17 applications lodged on 1 August by unsuccessful candidates, most for "breach of equality", according to the first reports of administrative courts. The high administrative court was not in a position to give the number of appeals filed after the publication of the baccalaureate 2018. For the free appeals of candidates to the rectorates - which are examined more quickly than those filed before the administrative courts -, " no lift has been made "because" they are all closed until the end of August, "says one street of Grenelle.
On the side of the association Droit des lycéens, which runs a platform set up to help students who have failed, it is said to have received "1,300 calls in July and around 200 since early August". "Every candidate who appeals requests an appeal before an administrative court but we advise them each time rather to make a gracious appeal directly before a rectorate, because it is cheaper and faster," said the president of the association Noah Lourenço de Gouveia. For this edition, 90,000 candidates were recalculated on 750,000.
