This is the last tuition fee for final year students. The last high school exams are approaching, on the first Wednesday 14 June, while the big oral exam will take place from 19 to 30 June.
Pupils with disabilities or learning difficulties are entitled to adaptations, sometimes called ‘third time’ for tests. However, many requests are not satisfied or are still pending, even though the tests will start in a few days. Thus, some parents and students feel desperate, while the associations denounce the government’s lack of response, they report franceinfo.
Rectorates who do not respond
The service highlights the testimony of Naoual’s daughter, in Lille, who suffers from dyslexia called “dys”, attention disorders and who has physical difficulties in writing. Indeed, a four-hour ordeal causes him severe pain. Thus, Naoual has asked for human help for the final exams, that is, someone to write for his daughter, otherwise he will not be able to take the written exams, which start on Wednesday. But she is still on the waiting list.
“These children end up isolating themselves, shutting themselves up, they no longer have self-confidence. They think they are nothing, that they will achieve nothing. This is the bitter observation I have today of the education system not taking into account all children, the students, in their diversity, in their differences. It is bad for the child, for the parents because it causes anxiety and takes time. And frankly, we don’t just have this to do “says Naoual a franceinfo.
Finally, the rectorate of Lille proposed that his daughter take the test on the computer. But that would upset her entire working method.
The “mistreatment” according to the associations
A far from trivial case, assures the French Federation of dys, which brings together many associations that work in support of people with dys disorders.
Valerie Vignayone of the leaders, denounced a “ abuse » from the various rectorates: “The families are desperate and we don’t even know how to support them anymore. Yesterday we received another negative response. So here we are really in a situation of misunderstanding. Me, I’m totally pissed. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a stuck situation. It’s heartbreaking. We who are on the ground no longer know what to do. Frankly, enough of this abuse! »
The association also complains about the lack of equity among rectors: because in some academies it is more difficult than in others to have access to support.
