BAC Sport: Celebration turns to Tragedy



These days we are living the return of the BAC sport which is taking place from April the 23rd to May 5th. After it was cancelled last year, this year baccalaureate students are enjoying the event as usual.  

After passing the test, it is time for “Dakhla” a celebration in which students sing songs inspired from those of football accompanied with drums, to attack other branches and celebrate their future graduations. Very creative and funny flags are made to decorate the school buildings. Usually students from the same class wear similar tee shirts to appear as a unified team.

Rental or personal cars are often used to do tricks in front of the schools. Unfortunately, students sometimes get so excited that they forget about safety and start driving extremely fast, dancing from outside the cars’ windows and jumping on the school roofs…

These acts sometimes end in tragedy as in the case of the students’ accident from Père Blanc high school which caused the death of two boys and critical health conditions for their three other friends. A girl from Sousse was also killed in a traffic accident during the festivities.

A flag with their pictures was made by their classmates and raised in the school in order to pay tribute to them.

may god have mercy on them, it's sad to see such things in tunisia , but why does the ministry of education do not cancel this Bac sport ? i think it become a necessity to avoid such thing and to eliminate it from our high schools since students die each year! it's a shame if we get another "bac sport" next year !! the ministry should react fast and cancel it definitely

yes i agree with you this event is becoming more and more dangerous and the students themselves are not aware of it !
