Question 5553 — private education

Summary

Ms. Fatiha Keloua Hachi questions the Minister to the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, responsible for higher education and research, on the dangerous methods of a private higher education group. On March 5, the book by journalist Claire Marchal, Le Cube, the result of more than 150 interviews and the analysis of nearly 1,000 confidential documents, highlighted clearly demonstrate the methods of a private higher education group from the European leader in private higher education. The group, which owns more than 60 schools on some 106 campuses, more than half of which are in France, is the subject of serious testimony concerning both the profits made to the detriment of students and compliance with safety instructions. The journalist reports, for example, that within a school, nearly 400 students live together even though the establishment open to the public (ERP) can legally only accommodate 300 students. This situation is therefore dangerous both in terms of the application of fire safety regulations and in terms of emergency response in the event of an incident. Faced with this situation, the director of the Business division would then usually say “the piou-pious, you squeeze them, they squeak a little at first, but it’s okay!” . It is clear that the educational aspect, although fundamental, is abandoned in favor of the financial aspect, even though many students go into debt for their studies. This situation is absolutely unacceptable, especially when the group received, as indicated in the opinion on the finance bill for 2024, 130 million euros in state funding. She therefore wishes to know by what means he means put an end to this dangerous situation.
