🇬🇧 English

This decree sets special rules for awarding several vocational qualifications in the Amiens and Lille education districts for the 2026 exam session after an incident affecting information systems. For affected schools, apprenticeship centers, and training providers, some exam marks can be based on school records, training records, or continuous assessment files instead of normal exam arrangements. The academic rector must first check that those records can be accepted. If they are not accepted, candidates must sit the final exam papers or assessments.
