On June 10, the Rennes academy released the results of the CRPE 2026, a competitive examination for aspiring teachers in France. A total of 115 candidates were admitted, and 25 others were placed on a supplementary list. These candidates passed both written and oral exams, which are divided into two tracks: one for those with a bac+3 (three years of higher education after high school) and another for those with bac+5 (five years of higher education). The rectorate, or local education authority, had previously stated that these supplementary candidates could be called upon if someone withdrew from the main list of admitted candidates. However, the rectorate has decided to hire contractual staff instead of activating the supplementary list. This decision comes as more teaching positions are becoming available due to resignations and employees taking leave. While the original plan was to use the supplementary list if needed, the rectorate is now choosing temporary staff to fill these roles. This has left the 25 candidates on the supplementary list in a precarious situation. The deadline for appealing to use the supplementary list is September 30. After this date, the competition session will be officially closed, and these candidates will no longer be eligible to be considered for teaching positions based on their exam results. Without an appeal, they risk losing the benefits of their successful performance in the CRPE exams. Following demonstrations in Rennes and Paris in mid-September, the candidates are now in a legal race against time to ensure their results are recognized. The situation has drawn attention, and YouNousIls has created a video explaining the details of the case and the candidates' concerns.
