Algeria : announcement of BAC exams’ results delayed

Assessor teachers of the BAC exam spoke about the corrections period problem for this session because there are different answers in two separate subjects particularly scientific subjects such as, mathematics and physics.

• They posed the possibility of delaying the BAC results announcement until July’s first week’s end.
• The teachers’ concerns came in the absence of the correction nature, whether the exams office and ministry of education will separate the pupils’ answers in the optional subjects, or rather it would separate the two subjects on condition that teachers must be divided into two categories. That means each one corrects a subject in order to respect the fixed time.
• The teachers move from one subject to another may take time especially for non-scientific ones. Concerning the possibility of opening corrections centers for teachers, the 21st of the current month of June was fixed in this regard.
• Some assessor teachers said they would not begin such a day because they enter an experimental day to provide answers from the national bureau of examinations and competitions. This period may last for two days or more as there are two optional subjects on each matter.
• The number of assessor teachers for session 2008 along with staff and guards about half a million employees and approximately 600,000 candidates for the BAC. Most of them are from the old system and half are free pupils, with an estimated number of 10,000 pupils.
