Nancy–Metz Cancels Teacher Hiring Exam After Subject Mix-Up, Orders Retake for 908 Candidates

Overview

• The rectorat annulled a written test for the primary‑teacher recruitment exam after discovering at the end of the session that some candidates had different subjects.
• A new sitting will take place later in April, with 908 candidates called to retake the paper.
• The rectorat cited a material error during “mise sous pli,” meaning the contractor that stuffed exam envelopes mixed up the subjects.
• Leaders framed the cancellation as an equity measure so every candidate competes under the same conditions.
• Nationally, more than 88,000 people registered for about 11,600 primary‑teaching posts this year, underscoring how a logistics slip can upend many applicants’ plans.
