CONCOURS GENERAL is the most prestigious examination held once a year in France for the past nearly three hundred years and is open to all high school students.
The winners, and here comes the big surprise, are offered absolutely nothing as recompense save for a great national ceremony at the Sorbonne University in Paris in the presence of the Education Minister.
PARIS : As the first step of the procedure, high-school teachers all over the country test the applicants to make sure they will be able to stand up to the requirements of the nation-wide intellectual match.
Out of nearly eighteen thousand candidates this year, 129 were declared successful. Despite such vast variety of subjects and the fact of a number of young people coming out brightly, there inevitably is one-
Whose talent outshines those of others.
This Year's Concours General star proved to be a sixteen-year-old Parisian named Octave Vasseur - Bendel who earned top positions in Latin and Geography language besides being brilliant in other subjects such as Mathematics and Greek philosophy.
Both parents are lawyers, his mother an attorney at the Supreme Court and his father a counselor at the National Appeals Court.
They say although they do everything all parents do to help their children, Octave's phenomenal progress is the result of his own incredible talent for remembering whatever he has read or heard just once.
Apart from the subjects that are taught normally in the class, he has a great passion for Greek Literature and Philosophy and reads Homer and Plato's works in their original versions without requiring any help from a professor.
The Honor and Serving of the latest Global Operational Research on Talent and Students continues. The World Students Society thanks author Zafar Masud/Paris.
