The common tests of continuous monitoring of the new bac, which could not take place in some establishments, could be "relocated" in examination centers, said Jean-Michel Blanquer, the Minister of National Education, this Tuesday, confirming information he had previously revealed in an interview with 20 Minutes in mid-February.

These tests, called E3C and launched on January 20, were disrupted in dozens of establishments, especially in Paris. For some establishments, this was already the second attempt to organize these tests.

Less than 1% of establishments concerned

This situation concerns "a very small minority of high schools," said Jean-Michel Blanquer on LCI. "Of the 1.74 million copies that we had to have, there are just under 40,000 copies to wait," he said, conceding that for the students concerned, "it is obviously a nuisance". "In the most extreme cases we possibly consider the relocation" of the tests, "that is to say that it would not happen in high school", but in an examination center, he said.

"The ultimate parade is offshoring", he insisted, adding: "It concerns less than 1% of establishments, in the vast majority of others, now it is done. The copies are scanned, almost all corrected ”. And if the students did not show up to take their exams anyway, they will have "zero", he warned.
