The Jacqueville municipal high school hosted the launch of the first edition of “Génies Littéraires” on Friday, February 12, 2021. 20 candidates tested their literary skills through a series of exercises.
The candidates had to speak out on issues that undermine education, namely drugs and school pregnancies. This exercise allowed the members of the jury to assess the eloquence, presence and style of the candidates. There was also the spelling, reading and incomplete text test which involves candidates writing the word correctly.
At the end of the competition, the jury elected Ruth Esther Tra Tranan.
1st TRA Tanan 19.00 / 20, ranked 2nd KONAN Marie 18.50 / 20 student in 6th grade and 3rd GINGANE 18.33 / 20 student in 3rd grade.
