Question 7534 — higher education

Summary

Ms. Brigitte Barèges draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, responsible for higher education and research, to the recent modifications to the criteria for awarding scholarships concerning single parents. The current system for awarding scholarships based on social criteria presents inconsistencies regarding the situation particularity of families organized in alternating custody having the character of comprising two single parents. The regulations in force, based on income from year N-2, do not accurately capture the economic precariousness experienced by these households. It appears particularly worrying that recent administrative developments have led to the exclusion of students whose two parents are isolated from the system. In Indeed, according to current criteria, when the letter T, corresponding to the situation of a single parent, appears on the tax declaration of both parents of the student, no bonus is granted, thus creating an inequality of treatment that is difficult to justify. This provision leads to a paradoxical situation where a student whose one parent is single and the other remarried finds himself at an advantage compared to someone whose two parents are isolated. This administrative configuration in no way reflects the socio-economic reality of the families concerned and unfairly penalizes students already weakened by a shaken family context. The specific burdens that weigh on single-parent families, particularly in terms of housing and travel costs, constitute considerable financial constraints that are insufficiently taken into account in the assessment of rights. at current stock exchanges. She therefore asks him to kindly explain the reasons which led to this modification of the criteria which seems to be unfavorable to students from families where both parents are isolated and if he plans, as part of the reflection carried out on the simplification of the scholarship system, to revise this provision to guarantee true fairness of treatment between all students, whatever the family configurations from which they come.
