The Ministry of National Education published last Wednesday the calendar of the new formula baccalaureate.
Terminale students will start in March 2021 with the specialty exams, followed in June by the written exams and the grand oral.
The exact timeline is as follows:
- The specialty tests will take place between March 15th and 17th.
- The traditional written exam session will start the 17 June with the philosophy tests.
- From Monday June 21 to Friday July 2 the tests of the grand oral will take place.
- The results of the baccalaureate will be published the 6 July.
- The remedial session will be held from July 7 to 9.
In addition, the ministry recalls that the schedule of common evaluations, made up of common duties carried out within the framework of class hours during the final year, "will be decided by the head of each establishment after consultation of the pedagogical council and deliberation from the administration board".
The objective of this reform, decided by Jean-Michel Blanquer, is not to confine students to scientific, economic or literary fields but to allow them to associate several disciplinary fields.
According to figures from the ministry, mathematics, despite a "high dropout rate", is the most chosen specialty education with 41% of students who have decided to take these courses. Next come physics and chemistry (34%) and economics (33%).
Parcoursup calendar
The Parcoursup platform will open on January 20 for the registration and wish-making phase.
Between May 27 and July 16, 2021 will then come the main phase of admission during which high school students receive training responses and make their choices.
Finally, the complementary phase will open from June 16, 2021 until September 16, 2021. _AF
