Question 5312 — exams, competitions and diplomas

Summary

Ms. Claire Colomb-Pitollat draws the attention of the Minister of National Education and Youth to the massive use of papers in examination rooms. Indeed, the subjects of the end-of-school-year examinations are often supplemented by numerous additional documents aimed at providing supplementary and complementary information to the examination subject. In certain tests, the use of paper is such that the exam subjects now resemble real corpora composed of diagrams, texts and a multitude of photos printed in color, on one side and packaged in plastic sleeves. This massive use of plastic may then seem abusive, especially since these documents will only be used once; on the other hand, that there are credible alternatives such as projecting documents on a screen, reducing the format or font size as well as the use of recycled paper sheets. For many students sensitive to the climate cause, this form of exam, which is expensive in terms of energy and raw materials, may seem totally inappropriate today. A search for compromise between educational organization and the fight against waste may seem necessary. She therefore asks him what measures he intends to take. taken to reduce the massive use of papers in examination rooms as well as, more generally, in all classrooms.
