Organizational shortcomings prevented dozens candidates from attending exams

The parents of the baccalaureate candidates yesterday slammed the education ministry for not providing transportation and catering for their children preventing, thus dozens of External candidates from passing their exams.

•  

• Meanwhile, several education unions have decided to withdraw from the examination centers in a move to reduce the number of supervisors.

•  

• The head of the parents’ association Khaled Amed has asserted that the ministry has purposely brushed aside the suggestions made by the parents’ representative concerning the organization of meeting to discuss the appropriate preparations ahead of the baccalaureate exams.

•  

• He questioned the criteria followed to select the examination centers that do not fulfil the requirements including toilets and fresh water. M Ahmed cited the example of one of the centers located in the province of Tizi Ouzou, 100 KMS east of Algiers, with a capacity of 1000 candidates but contains five toilets only.

•  

• He has also vehemently criticized the military-like behaviour of the proctors inside the centers who pushed their zeal to an extent that they forbade the candidates to open the windows to let fresh air in, and even borrowing a pen from another candidate.

•  

• For his part the spokesman of the Technical and High School Education Union, Meziane Meriane has expressed his full satisfaction as to the quality of the topics that were mistakes- free stressing that his union was only concerned by the pedagogical side of the event.
