Question 7754 — higher education

Summary

Mr. Jérôme Buisson draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of National Education, Higher Education and Research, to the problems encountered by students who find themselves far from a university catering location. Since February 1, 2025, students who do not have a Crous university restaurant nearby benefit from a prepaid card of forty euros for scholarship holders and twenty euros for non-scholarship holders. To be a beneficiary, the establishment must be located more than twenty minutes on foot or by public transport. This financial aid is paid monthly during the academic year (September to June). However, the criterion of twenty minutes by public transport or on foot poses certain difficulties. With student insecurity constantly increasing, students will tend to favor walking rather than transport. However, as they do not have a restaurant card, their lunch break may be cut short while they reach the university catering facilities. This constraint could worsen malnutrition and reinforce their financial insecurity. Students are pushed towards consuming fast, poorly balanced and expensive meals. These consequences can impact their health and their studies. Mr. the MP is concerned by this problem within his constituency. Lyon III University, Bourg-en-Bresse campus, is one of the higher education establishments that does not benefit from prepaid cards. Students find themselves forced to eat outside without financial compensation. Also, he would like to know if the Government intends to broaden the selection criteria for establishments benefiting from the cards. prepaid restaurants in order to better meet the needs of students in precarious situations.
