The Reform

The French baccalaureate reform -- the specific changes to the examination that has defined the French secondary education system since Napoleon that the Macron government implemented and that have been in full operation since 2021 -- has in the years since implementation produced the specific outcomes that the reform was designed to achieve and some that it was not.

The Changes

The changes: the replacement of the terminal examination in most subjects with continuous assessment that counts for 40 percent of the grade; the introduction of the speciality subjects that allow the student to develop the specific academic profile that the reform was designed to produce; and the specific impact on the preparation for the grandes ecoles whose preparatory classes the baccalaureate feeds.

The Paris Fool Coverage

The Paris Fool covers the baccalaureate reform because the accountability journalism of the education system that most defines French academic identity requires examining what the most significant reform of the past generation has produced.
