Question 16631 — health professions

Summary

Mr. Jean-Claude Leclabart questions the Minister of Solidarity and Health about the European School of Multidisciplinary Podiatry (EEPP). Based in the Belgian capital, it ceased its activities during the 2014-2015 school year. The majority of French students enrolled in this establishment have chosen to complete their course in French schools, such as the Institut de formation en pedicure-podology in the Lille health region. He wishes to draw attention to the particular situation of five of these French students who are unable to obtain their state diploma even though they have completed each of their three years of study in France. The respective regional directorates of youth, sports and social cohesion, after having issued them with a provisional certificate of “state diploma podiatry pedicure” have reconsidered their decision. The interpretation of the provisions of the amended decree of July 8, 2015 led the regional directors of these administrations to reclassify the term “state diploma” as simple “equivalence”. From the extensive discussions that the MP was able to have with these students or their parents, one and the same request emerges: that of being awarded a state diploma taking into account the professional opportunities that this recognition can offer them. He deplores the "discriminatory" nature of the provisions of the amended decree of July 8, 2015. Although he is keen to encourage the resumption of the academic curriculum of the incriminated students, he fails to take into account the particular situation of the few students who had to pay the registration fees incurred with the EEPP and ignore the know-how stored to better re-register and complete their entire course in France. He does not accept that the skills and knowledge acquired by these students during their three years of study in French schools are considered less qualifying than those of their “French” counterparts. Just because the entrance exam into these schools turned out to be different, unequal treatment is created which he asks him to remedy as quickly as possible by taking the necessary measures. This inequality seems all the more obvious since the latest information suggests that for similar cases of students who had to return to school in Parisian schools, a state diploma and not an equivalence was issued. He therefore wishes to know his intentions on this issue.
