At each big premiere, its crashes… more or less important.
The grand oral, novelty of the baccalaureate version Jean-Michel Blanquer, has not escaped the rule.
This Monday, June 21 took place the first day of this test - each high school student spends 20 minutes in front of a jury of two teachers - to which 525,760 candidates are invited, until July 2.
It was punctuated by a few “relative, but existing” dysfunctions, summarizes Bruno Bobkiewicz, general secretary of SNPDEN-Unsa, a union of school leaders.
At the Ministry of National Education, it was specified this Monday at the end of the afternoon that it was too early to have a national assessment of these hiccups. “The management staff managed the event from 8 am to 6 pm, we will have figures on what did not go in the middle or end of the evening. "
But a few climbs, at 4 p.m., gave a first idea of the damage, at least on the Paris academy.
Of the 450 juries, twenty-one had to be recomposed, for a host of reasons: convocations not on time, not in the right place, badly addressed… These pairs of teachers being composed for the entire duration of the grand oral, until at the beginning of July, "we hope that this was only a concern on this first day," says Rue de Grenelle.
Result: seven Parisian candidates - out of 16,000 - had their exam canceled and will be reconvened "within the week".
Convening problems
Figures still largely fragmented and which do not include, for example, those of the academy of Créteil, in which several problems of inadequate convocations of jury were noted. On social networks, several testimonies report very problematic situations, in particular in the academies of Orleans-Tours, Lyon, in Normandy and in the Paris region, where teachers were called on Monday morning to go urgently to an establishment. and officiating in the jury… although they had not received any summons. Others, on the contrary, notes the Snes-FSU, the majority union in the second degree, were summoned from 8 am in a high school, for no reason.
Not normal, for Bruno Bobkiewicz, himself headmaster of a school in Val-de-Marne, and who had to find, in an emergency, a teacher to replace an absent.
"It is incomprehensible that this great oral, that the authorities have had time to anticipate, and which, in itself, is not complicated to organize, is a source of dysfunction", thunders the trade unionist, who himself had feedback from the academies of Île-de-France and Lille, in particular.

“Finding, straight away, a teacher with a very specific specialty is not necessarily easy at the last minute,” he adds. But for him, “the organization will become more fluid” as the week goes on. What confirms the entourage of Jean-Michel Blanquer: “It was the first day, there are necessarily adjustments, even if we deplore the stress that this causes in the candidates concerned. "
