description

International audience; This article sets out to present the French higher education system as it exists at present, pinpointing the main causes of the malfunctioning or inefficiency now unanimously attributed to it by students, employers, governments and even teachers. The trends and reforms of the last 15 years or so already bear witness to a fundamental adaptation of the system to new guiding concerns. Yet this development is slow and uneven, being kept in check by certain institutions, themselves so well-established as to be taken for granted. We shall attempt here to identify them.
