Když (s pomocí KSČM) vládli, neudělali nic. Pak byli čtyři roky v opozici a před volbami tvrdili, že už mají všechno připravené. Teď jsou (díky SPD) opět u moci a připravené nemají samozřejmě vůbec nic. Můžou teď jen děkovat Jurečkovi, že jako oni pouze nežvanil, ale konal. https://t.co/UgBkFa3kwA #politika #volby #vláda

🚨 UGB : deux étudiants saisissent la Cour suprême contre la suppression des rattrapages Deux étudiants en Licence 3 à l’Université Gaston Berger de Saint-Louis ont saisi la Chambre administrative de la Cour suprême pour contester la suppression des examens de rattrapage. Selon les requérants, cette décision : serait contraire aux textes encadrant le système LMD ; modifierait les modalités d’évaluation après les enseignements et les examens ; porterait préjudice aux étudiants privés d’une seconde session en cas d’échec. L’UGB justifie cette mesure par les retards accumulés dans les enseignements. Pour achever l’année universitaire et garantir le volume horaire nécessaire à la validation des diplômes, le Conseil académique a instauré une session unique d’évaluation par semestre. L’année universitaire a ainsi été prolongée jusqu’au 14 août, date limite fixée pour clôturer les activités pédagogiques, sous peine d’invalidation des semestres. La Chambre administrative de la Cour suprême devra désormais déterminer si l’UGB pouvait légalement modifier les modalités d’évaluation dans ces circonstances. #Éducation #Justice #UGB

Mapka pokazująca gdzie i ile trafiło pieniędzy z pożyczki SAFE. Moim zdaniem taka grafika w uproszczonej wersji powinna się pojawić tygodnie jak nie miesiące temu. Tj.
