Immerse yourself in the world of the primary education certificate (CEP)
Created in 1866 by Victor Duruy, former Minister of Education, the man nicknamed “the certificate” is always in the memories of the French. Through various oral and written exams (reading, writing, history, etc.), the primary studies certificate, ancestor of the Brevet des colleges, made it possible to evaluate schoolchildren at the end of primary school. If some people tear their hair out when faced with arithmetic problems, others only remember the dreaded dictation. The podcast “Dictation!” offers you a return to the past with a dictation given for the primary studies certificate of 1912. This is an extract from the text “To the schoolchildren of Alsace” by Ernest Lavisse. The trap ? Be able to choose between the 2 endings “é or er”.

TO ALSACE SCHOOLCHILDREN
Comrades, we know that you are suffering great pain because you are separated from us; To be separated from you is a great sorrow for us. If someone tells you we’re not thinking about you, don’t believe it. Our fathers lived together for a long time, citizens of the same homeland. Together, they learned, in the penultimate century, to believe in the dignity of the human being and to love justice and freedom.
