To break the silence that surrounds the balance sheet, two years later, of the reform of health studies, the Council of State is called upon to decide. The High Administrative Jurisdiction, which had already imposed, in July 2021, on fifteen universities to welcome more students in the second year of health, was seized on December 7 of a request for repeal of the two sectors ” Specific health access “(PASS) and” Licenses with health access “(L.AS), established in 2020 to replace the first common year in health studies (PACES).
These renovated courses must make it possible to apply twice at the entrance into a course of medicine, odontology, maieutic and pharmacy while ensuring, in the event of failure, to be able to continue in a “parachute” license (as Sciences, law, economics, psychology, etc.) that students have designated as their minor (in the case of the pass) or their major (l.as).
The request aims to contest before the Council of State the implicit refusal of Elisabeth Borne to repeal the reform. The Prime Minister did not, in fact, not followed up a letter sent this summer by the Pass-l.as 21 association, a collective of parents who asked her to put an end to the multiple inconsistencies suffered by the students in various faculties health.
“As many reforms as universities”
The procedure is likely to take at least one year, until the Council of State transmits the request to the government, obtains its response within the time limit, has it followed to the collective which will write in return a new argument. At the end of the race, a public hearing will be held at the Palais-Royal, allowing the High Jurisdiction to rule on the merits, where no authority has yet risked: National Committee for Monitoring the Reformation, General Inspection of the ‘Education and project manager dispatched in emergency to the faculties by former Minister Frédérique Vidal, have delivered their conclusions to the only ministry of higher education, which hitherto refuses to give the slightest echo.
The association’s lawyer, M e
é> Marc Bellanger, is surprised that the services of Matignon did not take the time to send a response to the missive of the month of august. “No doubt the government remains silent so as not to have to recognize its failure?” He suggests.
The grievances are multiple. “There are as many reforms as universities”, notes the Pass-l.as 21 association, which regrets the too much room for maneuver left to the establishments to organize what remains, according to her, “a competition” from the second year. Whether it is the preparation of the students, the tests, the weighting between written notes and oral notes, the use or not to anonymity during orals, important disparities have arisen between universities.
