#MENE2609280ASpecial 2026 baccalaureate exam rules for Amiens and Lille after school IT system attack
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This order creates backup arrangements for some 2026 baccalaureate exams in the Amiens and Lille academies after a cyberattack disrupted public high school IT systems. It applies to candidates enrolled in public schools who are taking the general baccalaureate or the STI2D technological baccalaureate. If the cyberattack makes it impossible to run the practical part of certain specialty exams, the student must first be called again during the normal exam session. If the practical exam still cannot take place, general baccalaureate candidates in engineering sciences or computer science take only the written part, while STI2D candidates have the practical mark replaced by their annual average in the specialty subject.

Key Changes
- Creates special 2026 exam arrangements for affected public high school candidates in Amiens and Lille.
- Requires a second summons if the practical part of certain specialty exams cannot be held because of the cyberattack.
- Allows alternative grading if the practical exam still cannot take place after the second summons.
Obligations
What this law requires
In the Amiens and Lille academies, if the cyberattack prevents the material conditions needed for a general baccalaureate candidate in “sciences de l’ingénieur” or “numérique et sciences informatiques” to take the practical part of the specialty terminal exam, the academy rector must summon the affected candidate again during the normal 2026 exam session.
If, despite a second summons, the same cyberattack-related conditions still make it impossible for an affected general baccalaureate candidate to take the practical part of the “sciences de l’ingénieur” or “numérique et sciences informatiques” specialty terminal exam, that candidate’s terminal specialty exam must consist only of the written part.
In the Amiens and Lille academies, if the cyberattack prevents the material conditions needed for an STI2D baccalaureate candidate to take the practical part of the “ingénierie, innovation et développement durable” specialty terminal exam, the academy rector must summon the affected candidate again during the normal 2026 exam session.
If, despite a second summons, the same cyberattack-related conditions still make it impossible for an affected STI2D candidate to take the practical part of the “ingénierie, innovation et développement durable” specialty terminal exam, the practical-part mark must be determined by taking into account the candidate’s annual average in that specialty subject as recorded in the school record, according to procedures set by the rector.
