The baccalaureate written exams start today. Given the number of candidates registered for this 2022 session, seventy percent of them have opted for the literature series.
The scientific series and the Organization-Society-Economy (OSE), the technological, technical and professional baccalaureate do not interest young people. 70% of those enrolled in the baccalaureate for the 2022 session have opted for the literary series. Only 20% of the candidates chose the scientific series, 3% the OSE series, and 6% will pass the technological, technical and professional baccalaureate. This trend has not changed much for several successive baccalaureate sessions.
In some public high schools in the capital, the number of students in the scientific series and the literary series would begin to swing, gradually. But the students of the literary series remain more numerous. According to hypotheses, this high rate of literary series is explained by the participation of young people who have not followed the normal course of education. Schooled in a class below the terminale level, they attempt the baccalaureate diploma, by taking courses, and by registering with the simplest series, in particular, the literary series, following a very generalized option. “The problem with the large number of literary people is that there won’t be many performers. Only reporters and decision makers. “says a teacher of a science subject at a public high school in Antananarivo.
To encourage young people to take a greater interest in scientific and technical subjects, he proposes the reorientation of the education policy. “It is the companies that must propose the school program, and submit their needs. “, continues our source. One hundred and ninety-two thousand four hundred and thirty-five candidates are taking part in the baccalaureate exams, which begin today, throughout Madagascar.
One hundred and eighty thousand eight hundred and four will pass the general baccalaureate. And eleven thousand six hundred thirty-seven, the technical baccalaureate.
