Question 28938 — overseas

Summary

Mr. Jean-Philippe Nilor questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs about the fate of students, particularly those from overseas based abroad. During his speech on April 13, 2020, the President of the Republic announced that “The most precarious students, sometimes living far from their families, particularly when they come from overseas, will also be helped”. This announcement can only be welcomed favorably! In his speech, the President of the Republic affirms that he does not want to increase inequalities between students. This same principle must apply to overseas students, whether they are based in France or abroad. The platform www.outremerssolidaire.gouv.fr will make it possible to identify the needs of students through a questionnaire and to better support their return. The outlines of this device were announced on Monday April 20, 2020 by the Minister for Overseas Territories. However, it is not aimed at young people based outside France. Indeed, there is no mention of overseas students living abroad. However, the platform could also make it possible to identify them and consider specific measures concerning them. He is thinking in particular of those who are in Canada to the extent that the overseas communities, Martinique and Guadeloupe in particular, have agreements with universities in Quebec. There would be nearly thirty Martinicans concerned experiencing difficulty returning to Martinique. The wait is becoming unbearable for these young people and their families who hope for rapid repatriation. He alerts him to the urgency of certain cases and asks him what measures the Government intends to take to unblock the situation of these students.
