She had 20 out of 20 in philosophy, history, maths, physics-chemistry, English, Mandarin, Spanish, and, of course, swimming. The champion of 800 meters freestyle in Polynesia, Ranitea Gobrait, has cardboard in the bac as in his sport. French Major of the 2018 vintage, the young multi-medal winner is the pride of her high school La Mennais in Papeete: "Beyond his academic abilities, he is someone with real human values. She is kind, patient, very simple, she helps her comrades … ", list her director, Valérie Faua. And yet, despite her 20.32 average – achieved through bonus options – Ranitea still does not know where she will be next year. Indeed, none of his orientation requests were accepted. She claims to be a victim of Parcoursup's algorithm.
For lack of a sesame for one of the Parisian establishments she had chosen – and if she is finally not accepted in the prestigious Toulouse preparatory clbad for which she has only got the waiting list – Ranitea will go to the University of French Polynesia when several of her brilliant comrades who have not been admitted to the mainland have chosen to go abroad.

The great prepas have left us aside, we overseas islands (…) I think it's a shame to close the doors like that, we should leave us our chance! "Begs the champion, nicknamed" the collector of 20/20 "by Tahiti Nui Television.
For director Valérie Faua:" We are forced to find that being in French Polynesia, it can disadvantage students who ask for very specific formations (…) This year, with Parcoursup, it was a little more obvious: with APB, there were fewer cases like these ", badures the teacher of the high school La Mennais.

Stéphane Troussel, PS president of the departmental council, had split an open letter to the Minister of Higher Education, Frédérique Vidal. He wondered about the "opacity" of the selection system. Although the rectorates had indeed had to set geographical quotas – from 1 to 70% of extra-academic candidates – for the universities, this is not the case for schools. Acceptance is based on grades in the year, in subjects corresponding to the criteria set by the institution, and not according to those obtained in the baccalaureate.
