Question 11316 — exams, competitions and diplomas

Summary

Mrs. Aurélie Trouvé alerts the Minister of the Interior to the critical shortage of driving license inspectors which is seriously disrupting the public service, particularly in Seine-Saint-Denis and more widely throughout the territory. This shortage of staff leads to excessively long delays in obtaining a practical examination place, which delays access to autonomy for residents. For residents of Seine-Saint-Denis, where the provision of transversal public transport is very insufficient, the driving license is a passport to employment. Delays in obtaining exams, linked to the freezing of exam dates, thus slow down access to the job market and training. The “10,000 permits for success” program has shown that facilitating access to permits for young people experiencing integration difficulties helps improve their integration into the labor market. Further research have shown that driving license holders have access to a much wider portfolio of job offers than those who do not have one, due to its essential nature in a number of professions: commerce, crafts and maintenance, delivery, logistics, in particular. This crisis, far from being isolated, is symptomatic of a problem that extends to the whole of France. In neighboring Hauts-de-Seine, candidates report wait eight months to take the exam. In Seine-et-Marne, a collective of driving school managers denounces the loss of 900 exam places between March 2024 and March 2025. A driving school in Seine-et-Marne reported having 69 candidates waiting for a first pass since June 2024. This shortage is worsening while government measures aimed at promoting access to the license - such as the possibility of taking it from the age of 17 and financing via the personal training account - caused a 33% increase in registrations for the exam among young people aged 15 to 17 at the end of 2024. Furthermore, efforts to increase numbers are often insufficient, as illustrated by the situation where, at the Lagny center, three postal workers trained to become examiners were accepted for the competition, but one was transferred and the two others sent simultaneously to motorcycle training, leaving no one immediately available for examinations. Faced with these difficulties which keep the residents of Seine-Saint-Denis, a department already affected by other deficiencies in public services, in a situation of territorial inequality and which in this case penalizes the autonomy and professional integration of young people, the Member asks the Minister what concrete measures the Government intends to take, in the short and medium term. term, to significantly increase the number of driving license inspectors in the department and nationally. She also asks what measures will be proposed to make the profession of inspector more attractive, in particular by revising the conditions of training, assignment and remuneration, in order to reduce waiting times to a level consistent with national objectives.
