Question 37200 — higher education

Summary

Mr. Didier Martin questions the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation on the implementation of the reform of the first year of health studies. This year, the 50,000 students registered for the specific health access course (PASS) and in a degree with “health access” option (LAS) are inaugurating for the first time the new first year formula of health studies. Provided for by the law of July 24, 2019 relating to the organization of the health system, this reform provides for significant changes. It firstly puts an end to the numerus clausus by replacing it with a numerus apertus intended to better adapt the number of doctors trained to the needs of the territories. It prohibits any repetition but provides, in return, a second chance within the framework of a reorientation in a license. The aim is to create new perspectives for students failing in the first year and giving them the opportunity to bounce back without delay. This reform finally proposes a diversification of access routes to health sectors. If the objectives of the reform are laudable, its implementation, particularly during this transition year, worries some first-year students and their families. The latter first of all regret the late announcement of the number of students who will be allowed to continue their studies in the second year. They also fear that the increase in reception capacities initially planned to absorb the integration of repeaters will not be as significant as expected. Primary students therefore fear not being able to benefit from equal opportunities, considering that a significant proportion of places will be occupied by repeaters. There are also many students who are struggling to follow this year of studies, already particularly demanding and trying in ordinary times, in the context of the health crisis that we are experiencing. The choice of a minor, sometimes by default, is also a decisive issue in allowing a successful professional reorientation. He would like to obtain details on the implementation of the reform and answers to the questions of these students who must pursue a delicate year of study in a degraded health context.
