Question 40363 — higher education

Summary

Ms. Albane Gaillot questions the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation on the effectiveness and efficiency of the Parcoursup higher education access platform. In March 2018, the student orientation and success law (ORE) established the new Parcoursup platform replacing the post-baccalaureate admission procedure (APB). Effectively implemented since 2020, this national registration procedure has with the ambition of being the keystone of a personalized and transparent system aimed at re-establishing “equal opportunities within our higher education”. The Parcoursup platform must allow the student to follow the progress of their application file and to be alerted in the event of a proposal during the admission phase. The selection of the candidate is carried out by taking into account the coherence of the candidate's training project, the acquired knowledge of his training and skills, to which are added the characteristics of the training. These criteria make it possible to configure an algorithm which automatically selects candidates. It seems, however, that certain establishments do not completely entrust the choice to the algorithm but take back partial control without us knowing exactly the process. It is clear that given the feedback from parents of pupils, students and teachers, the objectives set on the Parcoursup platform have not been achieved or have for certain students even had a negative impact on their final orientations in 2020 and that the progress of the 2021 calendar suggests significant frustrations and stress. Furthermore, article 1 of the ORE law specifies that information on the selection characteristics and examination methods of their applications as well as the supporting documents for the decision taken will be communicated. However, there is a lack of transparency and a lack of information. This is why she questions him about the measures that the Government could take to make the Parcoursup platform more efficient and more “reassuring” for students and make this tool a real tool serving the success of all.
