Question 19184 — higher education

Summary

Mr. Christophe Arend draws the attention of the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation to the consequences of the increase in university registration fees for non-EU foreign students announced by the Government in November 2018 as part of the “Bienvenue en France” plan. Professors and university officials are concerned about the decrease in student applications foreigners that the reform would generate, leading to undesirable economic difficulties for the country. Faced with this argument, the Government provided an initial response. He explained that the number of pre-registrations of foreign students remains stable in 2019. However, according to several professors and academics from Lorraine, the figures on which the Government relies do not reflect reality, but would a change in admission procedure. Indeed, until March 31, 2019, foreign students applying for a first year of university completed their applications according to the “Studies in France” procedure, a platform of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, by completing three wishes classified for their host establishment (the processing of files being ensured by Campus France when it comes to one of the 43 countries covered by of the procedure). The responses were deployed in three waves. At each stage, only one university was required to respond to the candidate: the one which corresponded to the first wish in the first phase, to the second (when the first had received an unfavorable opinion) in the second phase, and to the third (the first two having received an unfavorable opinion) in the third phase. Since April 1, 2019, the processing of wishes has been carried out simultaneously. been put in place. The examination of the three wishes is now carried out in parallel via the three establishments chosen by the candidate without transmission of the application file from one establishment to another. This change inflates the number of initial applications recorded by the different universities compared to the previous procedure, with a factor which depends on the number of rejections. He asks him to bring to the teachers and managers from universities for details regarding the calculation of official pre-registration statistics.
