Closed schools: "What will our diploma be worth?", Worry the students.

Like schools, universities, already greatly disturbed during the strike against the pension reform, will close the


There had already been a strike to disrupt their courses and their partials. There is now the coronavirus. Nearly 10,000 Tolbiac (13th) students were sent home on Thursday after a teacher at the university was diagnosed with the Covid-19. From Monday, all students in France will experience the same fate, not without concern for some.

Before the doors of the Panthéon-Sorbonne faculty this Friday morning, Sophie, a master 1 student in criminal law and criminal sciences smokes a cigarette, looking worried. "For now, we just know it's going to close. But we don't have precise information yet, ”regrets the 23-year-old girl.

“The president of the department of masters of private law (EDS) told us that the test gallops ( Editor's note: white partials ) were going to be dematerialized. During the strikes of December and January, they had considered that it was completely impossible, and there, one could? I do not see how ”, wonders the young girl, worried for the continuation of her studies. “It's a disaster, we already had our partials in the first half postponed because of the pension conflict, and now there is that. I wonder how the selection for master 2 will be made, ”sighs Sophie.

"I want to borrow as many books as possible"

Just a few blocks away, Félix hurried on the sidewalk that runs alongside the premises of the Panthéon-Assas University. This student of public law hurries to go to the library of his faculty, which will also close its doors on Monday. "I don't think I'm the only one doing this, but I want to borrow as many books as possible. Law books cost 40 to 50 €, I can't afford to buy them, he says. Above all, I work a thousand times better in BU (Editor's note: university library) than at home. "

However, Félix needs to revise. "I pass the lawyer competition in September, hoping that it will not be postponed," already worries the young man. Armand, a third year undergraduate student in history, is more relaxed. "I'm going to have time for myself, it's not bad," smiled the young man. “In two weeks, we were to have mid-term partials. I think we will return our dissertations by email. The only source of concern for the student: "What will our diploma be worth? "He wonders.

Students aren't the only ones asking questions. The two reception agents, responsible for verifying the bags and identities of the people at the entrance to the letter school, await instructions. "For now, we are not yet unemployed, we do not know for the future," smiles one of them despite everything.
