The suspense will have been short-lived: “I unfortunately have no announcements to make you”, blows Jean-Michel Jolion, delegate for student consultation with the Ministry of Higher Education, before returning S ‘Sit in the large Sorbonne lounge. The audience was however all hearing, Tuesday, February 14, during the first territorial conference of student life in Ile-de-France, impatient to discover the methods of reform of scholarships on social criteria, keystone of the fight against precariousness of students, which is particularly progressing in universities.
This reform – An Arlesian from the first five -year term of Emmanuel Macron – was expected initially for January, then for February. Finally, it should only be specified in March, indicates the entourage of the Minister of Higher Education, Sylvie Retailleau. In a tense social context, the government probably plays caution. The mobilization of students against the pension reform remains limited, but it could take another turn in the event of announcements which would be deemed too shy.
According to an internal document that Mo12345lemonde got mid-January, a scenario is already ready for the start of the 2023 school year, which consists of dusting the current allocation system by upgrading the scale by 13.9 % Reference of the calculation of scholarships, which would make it possible to integrate 10 % of additional scholarship holders (+ 71,000) and to pass 40 % of the current beneficiaries (288,000) at the higher level.

Ile-de-France occupies a special place, as the largest student region, with a quarter of the national workforce, or 730,000 students.

Young people have no experience on how our social protection system works,” she points out. And today’s students are not those yesterday: “They are a reflection of the diversity of society and come from families who do not necessarily have the social capital which was that of the families of students there is Forty years. “
