The coronavirus crisis is also shaking up the calendar of students in Terminale, who will not take tests on the table to obtain the famous baccalaureate in June. Instead, their report cards, but also their attendance will be taken into account.

The context is unprecedented and so is the government's decision: this year, the 700,000 or so baccalaureate candidates will not take written tests in June, as usual. The cause: the coronavirus epidemic, in which containment measures are in force and which makes the calendar for the coming months too unpredictable. How is it going to happen in practice? Europe 1 takes stock.

A jury to decide on the final marks

Concretely, the students will be judged on their grades for the year. These are the bulletins of the three quarters of Terminale which will count for the vat, except the notes obtained during confinement. Then, a jury will examine the academic booklet of each candidate and decide on the final marks, to ensure that the scales are the same everywhere in France.

Particularity of this 2020 bac: attendance until the end of the 3rd trimester - including distance learning, therefore - will be a sine qua non condition this year for obtaining the diploma! Catch-up orals are still planned, and a September session too, as usual.

Same principle for the patent

What about the patent? Same mechanism: 100% continuous control. "It is a shame, but it does not matter: I will be just a little less proud to have it", comments on the microphone of Europe 1 Bianca, excellent pupil of Third. "I think of those who do not pass the bac, and I find that it is much more bleak, because the bac you must have it, you have to pass the tests, it is a good experience of life."

As for the representatives of teachers and parents of students, this is the solution they advocated: they even participated in several videoconferences with the Minister in this regard. No disappointment therefore, but a warning: not everyone is equal in the face of continuous monitoring.
