In high school as in high school Charlemagne in Paris, students are obliged to do a 1st S then to have a Bac C to be able to access certain business schools or grandes écoles. For those in charge of the Grandes écoles, the best students are in this sector. Testimony of a student, of the director of studies of the school of commerce ESC, Claude DUSSAUGY : the best students are in the C course , the mathematical culture is important, but these students could also learn other things in other streams equally useful in the Grandes Écoles, so Section C is used as a selection tool. For the mathematician André LICHNEROWICZ of the Collège de France we are not obliged to make all minds do mathematics, which is absurd.
