Have a look at the statistics published by the MES: 25,314 candidates (22,914 first and second sitting plus 2,400 private candidates) were set to take the exam. Of these only 16,294 passed (15,613 first and second sitting plus 681 private candidates). The rest, 9,020, failed. This translates into a failure rate of 35.63%. This is more than a third in case you're wondering. But it gets uglier. Of the 9,020 that the state failed 2,962 were failed a second time. Do we need to wonder what this does to the creativity of those kids?
What are we waiting for automatic promotion? Godot? Is it too costly? Can't be when you look at how we've been wasting our tax billions for the past few years.
But there may be a drawback in bringing a few grams of common sense to this national problem: a stampede to kiss a minister's feet may become a thing of the past when the latter shows up with a box of macaroni.

What are the numbers for this year?
Well, for this year and the past years, help yourself here.
Some infographics wouldn't hurt, given the relatively large amount of data they have now...
Definitely. As if they couldn't hire a small team of unemployed graduates to analyze this interesting data. Maybe way too many ministers are busy eating sand.
