Early and professional career

Josette Claire Lincertin[1] was born on 12 August 1941 on the island of Marie-Galante, in the commune of Capesterre-de-Marie-Galante (in the south of the island). Her mother was a baker and she brought up a family of four children with benevolent authority. First educated in Marie-Galante, she left her island for Guadeloupe to continue her education.

After her baccalaureate, Borel-Lincertin went to study in Paris and returned in 1964, aged 22, to begin a teaching career that would last 40 years. She taught mathematics for 18 years before becoming head of establishment in several academies.[2] She was initially assigned as principal of the college of Pointe-Noire, in the north of Basse-Terre, in Guadeloupe. In 1986, she was appointed professor at Académie d'Amiens. She then became a principal, and ended her career at Lycée Gerville-Réache in Basse-Terre in 2004.[3]
