For many French people, passing the national end-of-high-school exam, known as the Baccalaureate or Bac, is an important rite of passage. The French love to brag about the Bac and how tough it is because that implies that French schoolchildren are smart. But with so many people passing the diploma, has it lost its value? The government recently completely reformed the Bac to make it a "springboard to success". Time will tell whether it retains its egalitarian - albeit stressful - appeal.

Well, I took and passed the bac back at the end of the 90s. I got 18/20 in maths. ~ 2 years ago, I took the Chinese Gaokao exam for fun (only the maths exam), and I smiled. If my memory serves me right, it is easier than the French maths exam I took as a Terminal S student. I know that the Chinese like to brag but come on... Now, honestly, the Baccalaureate is more accessible than in the past. To compare apples with apples, we should compare Classe Préparatoire Maths Sup/Spé (France) and the equivalent curriculum in China.
@Black_Nest
@Black_Nest 3 года назад
Also a difference between le bac and some other exam around the world is that it's not multiple-choice questionnaires like I think the USA have and maybe Korea too. I'm not saying their exams is not hard (especially for Korea) but there is a difference in the way that you learn and how you can anticipate the questions. A lot of questions don't have one answer and I think that's what makes it "hard".

The "Bac" was not created by Napoleon. Before the revolution, university students took the examination to become a bachelor of letters at the end of their first year. When schools were reopened after the revolution, the baccalaureate was shifted back to the end of school to become the entrance exam for the new University of France. But there were still bachelor's exams at university for those studying theology and law, before they went on to graduate with a licence.

Kcse is considered somewhere between GCSEs and A levels in difficulty around the level of an AS level in the UK. But the Bac is considered equal to the IB Diploma and A levels. I say IB first because it also requires a breadth of knowledge while A level requires specialization in 4-3 subjects. All KCSE, A levels, IB and the French Bac are taken at 18 but KCSE is significantly easier. That's also why European countries need you to take a foundation year if you only have KCSE while they recognise the rest.

Je pense qu'il faut faire la meme chose que Canada. On a tout nos cours puis a la fin d'année on a un examen en chaque cours. C'est super facile mais ca depend de les cours que vous choisit. Ca vous prepare pour touts que tu veux. Si tu veux être un prof tu choisi les maths ou si tu veux être vétérinaire tu fais tes science et la zoology. Et c pas super difficile de changer ce que vous voulez faire plus tard. C triste de voir tout ces enfants qui passe pas le bac parce que il y a trop de stresse ( a cause de tout le monde des dernière 200 années) mais en le Canada en stresse juste un peu seulement si vous n'etes pas un étudiant super. Jai beaucoup plus des criticisme pour l'education national mais c bon pour maintenant. aussi désolée pour les faut d'orthographe donne une like si vous êtes d'accord avec moi

On a aussi ça en France, mais c'est à l'université. Le Bac est là pour s'assurer qu'on sache faire un minimum de tout (Maths, Physique, Biologie, Sport, Philosophie etc.). Par exemple moi j'avais pris la filière scientifique pour le lycée, donc j'ai eu mon Bac S, et par contre à l'université j'ai décidé d'aller en fac d'anglais parce que c'était plus facile. Mais j'ai toujours en tête les principes de physique que j'ai appris et ça peut me servir assez souvent dans la vie de tous les jours.
