14 candidates for the baccalaureate written their test in Breton in spite of French prohibition

Last year, they were 15. This year, they are 14 candidates for the baccalaureate of Diwan high school in Carhaix, Finistere, to have written their mathematics test in Breton this Friday morning. And this, against the advice of the rectorate. "Our claims are the same because nothing has changed," explains Sterenn Cueff.
"Basque high school students, educated in Basque, are allowed to write their math test in their language in the bac.Not us.It is not normal, we ask to have the same rights", summarizes Sterenn Cueff, student in terminal S at Diwan High School in Carhaix, Finistère. Like her classmates, she studied all subjects in the regional language since kindergarten. With 13 other students in her class, she wrote her mathematics test in Breton this Friday morning.

Even today, there is some doubt as to how their copies have been corrected. In the summer of 2018, high school students created the Bak e Brezhoneg association and hired a lawyer to defend their case. Master David Rajjou then exhumed a document likely to change the situation: a letter, written in 2012 by the rector of the Academy of Bordeaux, authorizing high school students educated in Basque to compose the test of mathematics in their language of instruction. This letter proved that there had been a break in equality between the Basque and Breton pupils. The Bak e Brezhoneg association has lodged two appeals with the Rectorate, enclosing this document. If she does not get an answer, the case will be brought before the administrative court.
