switzerland he.... That one is easy, useless education up to 8P, check the books used for these classes, it's a total joke. Add a fairly large non native language immigration, and you have kids up to 7 years old who can't speak more than one sentence in the local language (only my daughter could speak French properly in her class, in 4P, she is the only one who can actually read so far, her teacher says so to her class ffs).

Also don't forget that generally non science path are for the second rate students in europe, and the HES are generally also targeted to drop out students, and you get such results.

That particular test was funny as the students were arguing the course prepared them for another tests, yeah, correcting primary school level essay needs an actual course to find French mistakes. That tells everything on the so call great Swiss education.
