This Wednesday, May 19, Suzanne [les prénoms ont été modifiés] A student has just learned the results of his daughter Joe Specific Health Access Path (PASS) At the Medical Faculty of Brest. “She has an overall average of 17, and she should be prominent …“.

She wanted to, but she was kicked out. It did not verify the English volume that the University of Western Brittany declared to be Eliminator.

For this language test, based on the quizzes to be taken online on the Miskul platform, you should get an average of 20 out of 12 and set aside at least 20 hours to get the verification. Some students violated the ban. Suzanne tells her daughter not to: ” Joe has real values. She did not disappoint. She forgot to click a quiz. With a single click and rotten software, she was excluded from any device, with an average of 17. She doesn’t know how to break it …“

The scams have been proven since March

This report from Brest University, March 10, 2021, confirms the failures and suspicions of fraud related to this test: “This year imprisonment and distance education have sparked a surge of fraud cases on the Miskul platform“.

Along with the other three families of students in Joe’s same case, he received the services of a lawyer. A brief appeal was filed in Rennes’ executive court on the grounds that this removal test was a breach of the policy of equality between candidates.

When asked about the situation, the UPO leader responded by relying on post justice.The PASS arbitrator decided to make the decision which seemed to be the best within the application of the health research reform. It is the responsibility of the Executive Court to adjudicate this decision during summary proceedings. “

The implementation of health research reform manages four objectives: to improve student orientation and success, to adapt the skills of health professionals to the needs of the health system to support its transformation, to segregate health sectors and allow time for collective training, and to improve the quality of life and health of students. By the end of the first year of use, these objectives seem unattainable.
