The challenge rises to the parents and teachers of the students who, despite their entirely Bascophone curriculum, are, once again, forced to pass certain patent and baccalaureate events in French.
by
Forty parents, teachers and executives from Seaska, the federation of immersive schools in the Basque language, occupy day and night, since Wednesday, June 15, the Academic Inspectorate building in Bayonne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques). At the heart of their demands, the right for the 250 third college students and the hundred graduates of the Lycée Etxepare de Bayonne to pass all of their tests in Basque, a language in which all the subjects are taught to them. Indeed, currently, college students are required to write their copy of French -speaking patent sciences and graduates, all the tests, included oral.
Disloded by the police with tear gas when they blocked, on Wednesday, the access and exit of the academic inspection, temporarily enclosing the employees inside, they deployed a huge banner arguing their Claim: “Azterketak Euskaraz Eta Kitto” (“The Basque exams and that’s all”).
Ubuesque situations
“What we are shaking is that all the baccalaureate and patent events are again in Basque, as they were before 2018, before the arrival of Jean-Michel Blanquer at the Ministry of Education “Explains Hur Gorostiaga, the director of Seaska. Indeed, since the arrival of the Minister on rue de Grenelle in 2017, relations with the teaching federations in the regional language have continued to deteriorate, sometimes resulting in ubiquitous situations.
Thus, if copies of the patent in history-geography or mathematics are written in Basque and corrected by Bascophone teachers without this posing a problem, order was given by the ministry, as early as 2018, to have copies of copies correct Sciences written in Basque by correctors … who do not speak it. “Suddenly, the notes are completely fanciful,” explains the director of Seaska.
anger is all the more lively than a circular from the ministry dated December 14, 2021 suggested a change, since it specified that “the students who followed this bilingual course can present to the baccalaureate of the tests in the regional language “. This seemed to confirm the three -year agreement signed in 2019, linking the Public Office to the Basque language, the Ministry of Education and Seaska. “What is the point of signing conventions if everything is unraveled after?”, Surgery HUR GOROSTIAGA.
worried about the comments of the rectrice of the Bordeaux Academy, Anne Bisagni-Faure, made during a videoconferencing on February 4, then confirmed on April 13, stipulating that “only Terminale students (…) having opted For the specialty languages, literatures and foreign and regional cultures could present part of their examination of the Grand Oral in Basque “, Seaska had filed an emergency summons, on May 11, so that the ministry authorized all the students of the bac at Pass the big oral in the Basque language in June and not alone those who had taken the specialty – or 10 students. A request canceled on May 30 by the administrative court, the latter concluding that the decision issued in February by the Rector of Bordeaux had become final on April 4, for lack of appeal within two months.
