Question 35619 — higher education

Summary

Ms. Albane Gaillot alerts the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation to the strong incomprehension on the part of students caused by the announcement of the organization of face-to-face exams by the University of the Sorbonne. Most of them have not had face-to-face classes since March 2020, despite the promise of a partial resumption of classes in January 2021 for those with priority. In a context of resumption of the pandemic, and while the impacts of the health and economic crisis on the precariousness of students are no longer in doubt, the unions are concerned about the conditions of preparation for exams and the inequalities that they generate between students. These inequalities are firstly social, because not everyone has the same working conditions: lack of computer equipment, loss of their student job or their accommodation. These inequalities are then health-related, since a student positive for covid-19 cannot go to the exams. Faced with the lack of communication from the university administration, significant tensions developed, leading to police repression of attempts to block the places where the exams were taking place. Thus, despite remaining face-to-face, some students were unable to attend their exams. All suggests that the student movement is only in its infancy. A certain number of other blocking or boycott attempts have in fact been reported in other universities, in Paris 13 or at Upec (Paris-Est Créteil University). Also, she asks her about the measures she intends to take to ease tensions and take into account this disorganization in the holding and validation of exams, particularly for those who have not could not participate due to these blockages.
