The Minister of Higher Education and Research wants to “open the way of successful studies, multiply the gateways” and announces, in an interview with the “world”, the launch in February 2023 of a new platform Form to streamline responses to master’s candidates, whose pursuit of studies is sometimes hampered.
Attached to consultation, Sylvie Retailleau, the Minister of Higher Education and Research, will open in October the file for the reform of the scholarship allocation system, and announces that he wants to launch a reflection on the first university cycle To determine “what is expected of a postbac student”.
How to strengthen equal access to higher education when the annual hours theoretically devoted to orientation education do not are not integrated into the schedule of high school students?
The financing and integration of these fifty-four hours, provided for by the reform of the high school, are the responsibility of the Ministry of National Education. To improve the handling of Parcoursup, I therefore work in concert with the Minister of National Education, Pap Ndiaye, in particular on the continuum Bac – 3/Bac + 3, for a long time in the pipes, emphasizing The first year of postbac studies and support for high school students. We know that high school teachers lack tools and training on superior training. It is a work axis.
We must give more quickly and in a simplified way an access to the criteria of entry into the different training courses so that high school students do not discover them simply in terminal class, in February, and can better anticipate and prepare their wishes . The examination of applications will also be improved thanks to the integration into the Parcoursup file of the final tests of the specialty lessons of the baccalaureate, which will be passed in March. Continuous control brings a lot, but we must also have the national vision provided by specialty tests.
Improving guidance does not mean that we will not recognize a student the right to be wrong and reorient after a year of studies. In France, we operate too much in silos, we must open the way of successful studies, multiply the bridges, show that the courses may not be linear.
after five years of exercise, can we To say that Parcoursup introduced a selection at the entry to the university?
Let us know first what we mean by selection. Take the example of a training that displays a capacity of 40 students for example. The fact that it is selective allows it not to be forced to recruit 40 candidates. A non -selective sector will fulfill its reception capacities. It has never changed in time with Parcoursup! On the other hand, the way of filling out the capacity has actually changed because we no longer fill in order of arrival, at night, in front of the registration office, or by drawing lots, but from files. I consider this to be progress.
