Question 1150 — higher education

Summary

Ms. Anaïs Belouassa-Cherifi questions the Minister of Higher Education and Research on the situation of twelve students who, having not received a satisfactory assignment proposal from the University of Lyon 2 in October 2024, are unable to continue their higher education. Each year, since the implementation of the Parcoursup selection system within the framework of the law relating to orientation and success students (ORE, “Vidal” law of 2018), the number of students finding themselves in this condition continues to increase. They find themselves unable to continue their studies, pushed aside by a tool with opaque selection criteria. Some even lose their Crous accommodation, which increases the endemic precariousness from which a large proportion of students suffer. On October 16, 2024, the violence experienced by students mobilized at the University of Lyon 2 against this selection reached a new level: the establishment requested the intervention of the police on campus, to dislodge an occupation which was nevertheless peaceful. The images of this deployment of force in a university, a place of intellectual and social emancipation, are revolting. Year after year, universities reduce their admission capacities to adapt to competition. The crisis available places has led to an unacceptable situation: motivated and deserving students find themselves prevented from pursuing their academic and professional ambitions. Selection takes place at all levels of the curriculum, causing split courses and increasing the risks of dropping out of studies. This situation results from an inconsistent map of higher education training. Training offers should be balanced throughout the territory, including in medium-sized towns, in order to relieve congestion in higher education establishments in large university towns. The violation of the right to continue studies feeds the growing resignation of young people who nevertheless represent the future of the country and who must be able to access the highest level of training to face the social and ecological challenges that society expects. She him therefore expresses its concern about the situation of these students and asks about the future directions of this system.
