Baba Ahmed yields to pressure by setting “threshold” of courses ahead of next Baccalaureate exam

Well-informed sources told Echorouk that the national education ministerial department has finally yielded to the pupils’ repeated demands for the setting of a “threshold” of courses in the secondary and intermediate end of term cycles concerned by the 2014 B.E.M and Baccalaureate exams.

The national education ministry has decided to set a  limit to yearly courses for late March or  early April at the latest for those pupils gearing to sit for next June’s session of the Baccalaureate exam paving the way for higher university studies.

The same sources added that such a decision had been taken by education minister Abdellatif Baba Ahmed after a special assessment meeting behind closed doors with high-level executives of the education sector from several parts of the country.

Earlier this week, Abdellatif Baba Ahmed told the press that it was “inconceivable and premature” to set a threshold of the courses meant to serve for the working out of the end-of-year exams like the B.E.M and Baccalaureate.

 As a result of this unexpected ministerial about-turn allowing this salutary threshold vividly demanded by the pupils and their parents alike, the exam papers will thus  be confined solely to those subjectsand programs studied by the pupils up to the close of the school year.
