a teacher in police custody after burning 63 official copies of the baccalaureate in front of a high school in the capital

A teacher is in police custody in Paris after burning 63 official copies of his students’ baccalaureate in front of the Maria Deraismes high school in the 17th arrondissement of the capital, franceinfo learned from a source familiar with the matter on Wednesday May 10. This source adds that the teacher encouraged the students to join his action, but that the latter refused to participate.

A source familiar with the matter tells franceinfo that the English test in question took place on April 19, before the Easter holidays. The students worked on the backup subject because this same teacher had disclosed to his students the content of the main subject.

“A Casting Error”

According to information from franceinfo obtained from a source familiar with the matter, he is a contract English teacher who arrived at the establishment last January. This was his first year as a teacher. “It’s a casting error”, tells franceinfo a member of the Parisian establishment. However, the teacher had given “the feeling of having the required qualities” to teach.

According to the first elements of the investigation, the teacher left the establishment after his act. He was arrested a few hundred meters further by the police. He claimed an action against the National Education and the organization of the baccalaureate. To echo his action, the professor invited journalists from Le Parisien who filmed the scene. Contacted by franceinfo, the school principal confirms that he has filed a complaint.

No scanning copies for tray pro

In the vocational stream, the subject of the English baccalaureate, which is part of the controls during training (CCF), is written by the team of high school teachers under the control of the academy inspectorate. The high school English teachers then exchanged the copies so as not to correct the copies of the students in their classes.

Another particularity of the bac exams in the professional sector, the copies are not digitized, as confirmed by a source close to the file at franceinfo. This is why the headmaster and the Rectorate of Paris are looking for ways to retake the test for the students concerned.
