In a press release, teachers (CGT, SNES-FSU) from Fresnel high school in Caen (Calvados) evoke the end of the school year and the conditions for the next start of the school year in September.
A rally is organized in front of the establishment, rue Eustache Restout, on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at 1 pm “to bring these demands to the fore. “
“Extremely problematic terminal tests”
“The end of the school year is marked in high schools by a ministerial desire to keep up appearances as regards the” ritual “of the baccalaureate”, note these teachers.
However, the health crisis and the obvious loss of class hours linked to the restriction of pupils’ access to high school make the final examinations which are maintained extremely problematic.
“Useless” philosophy test
“We touch on the unnecessary as far as philosophy is concerned, the mark of the continuous assessment being able to replace the one obtained in the test. “
Teachers who judge: “aberrant the great oral, new test with still blurred outlines less than a month before the exam, and for which the students could not be truly prepared. “
Conditions of “inequality”
To justify this position, the teaching staff stresses that: “a high school like ours, worked part of the year in half-gauge, even though other establishments worked for the most part in full staff. , in particular private high schools, which some departments have not failed to highlight within the framework of Parcoursup and which therefore creates inequality for access to higher education. “
Request for “additional resources”
“The degradation of teaching conditions for high school students … Particularly for the second and the first” is also advanced.
This is why it is “required additional teaching resources next year for the first and final levels, so as to remedy the learning deficits observed over the past two years. “
