When she became president of the Ministry of National Education in early September, after a year of ministerial instability, Anne Genetet declared: “the ship will not change[t] untitled » but she would adapt “speed”.
Mandatory certificate, groups of 4 neededmy and in 3myreview of programs or advance test of mathematics in first grade… When presenting, on Tuesday, November 12, what he called “Act II of the clash of knowledge”The minister follows in the footsteps of one of her predecessors, Gabriel Attal. However, in a context of strong budgetary limitations, it is adapting the application of this policy, highly criticized in the educational world.
Anne Genetet, close to the former prime minister, thus resumes one of the most significant measures of the policy carried out by her predecessor: the transformation of the national patent diploma into a mandatory exam to access 2of. This choice to break with the history of the first school exam, which has never constituted a barrier to access to secondary school since its creation in 1947, was not defended by Nicole Belloubet, who led national education from February to September. It will be assumed by the new ministerial team, but according to a more flexible schedule compared to that planned by Gabriel Attal.

In the name of this argument, Rue de Grenelle once mentioned the year 2028, the date on which students entered 6my At the beginning of the 2024 school year, the first one whose complete university education has been reformed will obtain the certificate.
Anne Genetet’s teams justify this date of 2027, conveniently the end of Emmanuel Macron’s second term, to confirm the mandatory nature of the exam.

The approximately 25,000 students who have completed their year without passing the exam will have to enter the CAP or join a “prep 2of » one year. The system is currently being tested with around 1,300 students.

The conditions for obtaining the patent will be reviewed starting in the 2026 session and in accordance with Gabriel Attal’s initial plan: the final tests will have more weight (60%) than the continuous evaluation (40%), today counted at equal parts. The continuous evaluation scale will also be reviewed so that it is no longer based on the mastery of the skills, but on the average grade of the course.
