Question 4416 — teaching

Summary

Mr. Tematai Le Gayic draws the attention of the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Interior and Overseas, responsible for overseas territories, to the impact of inflation on the budget of Polynesian families and the subsequent difficulties in covering the plane tickets of their children, pursuing studies in France. According to the Statistical Institute of French Polynesia, from November 2021 to November 2022, the general price index consumption in Polynesia increased by 8.1%. The rate of increase in inflation over the first nine months of 2022 is twice as high as over the last ten years and twenty times more intense at an average annual rate. A system already exists to support the mobility of overseas students: the “study mobility passport”. However, if this provides for 100% coverage of the plane tickets of the scholarship students, on the other hand for non-scholarship students this amounts to only 50% of the plane ticket. The cost of a round-trip plane ticket between Polynesia and mainland France is approximately 3,295.45 euros, between July 1 and September 1. This means that families of non-scholarship students must still bear a cost of 1,650 euros, in addition to all other expenses linked to the installation in hexagon. The MP tabled an amendment to the overseas budget in order to increase the coverage of this plane ticket from 50% to 75%. This amendment was adopted by the national representation, but was not retained in the context of recourse to article 49, paragraph 3 of the Constitution. During the examination of the overseas budget, the minister maintained that there was no need to release additional credits, because it was not a question of not a question of money and that the Government would provide additional resources during the year if the need arose. The Minister is therefore asked, in view of inflation in the overseas territories and in particular in Polynesia, if the Government plans to modify the measures in force in order to readjust the reimbursement of tickets for non-scholarship students from 50 to 75%.
