The simulation is taking place despite protests from Education
The Baccalaureate simulation takes place in the context of the protests launched by the Education unions, dissatisfied with the austerity measures adopted by the Government.
The Federation of Free Trade Unions in Education (FSLI) and the Federation of Trade Unions in Education “Spiru Haret” asked teachers not to organize the simulations.
