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.
