A odd in the tray corrections. Poor digitization of copies of the baccalaureate led to incorrect marking for several dozen students, Jérôme Teillard, project manager of Parcoursup for the Ministry of Higher Education, told AFP on Saturday. These errors concern “between 50 to 100 copies”, adds Jérôme Teillard, thus confirming to AFP information from the magazine The Student. These are copies of the baccalaureate specialty tests, the results of which the students received on April 12. The students were able to consult their corrected copies online the next day in their digital version.
Incomplete corrections
This is how some students noticed that the corrected copy was incomplete or had been scanned incorrectly. “There was only the beginning of my copy which had been corrected”, testified on France Info Saturday a student whose work in history-geography had been noted 6/20. The results of these tests with a high coefficient are this year, for the first time, taken into account in Parcoursup, the assignment procedure in higher education. The marks of these tests are therefore particularly important for high school students who wish to continue in higher education.
“Each rectorate that is notified of this type of error by students or correctors modifies the notes and student files in their personal space,” explains Jérôme Teillard. Only “material” errors are affected by this reassessment, which does not, for the moment, concern rating disputes. For Parcoursup files, a process is underway “so that each training course to which these students have applied is notified by the teams” of the platform, he added.
536,081 candidates (390,710 in the general route, 145,371 in the technological route) each took two specialty tests in March.
