Inequalities in educational opportunities in France: educational expansion, democratization or shifting barriers?
2000
International audience; This paper is concerned with inequalities in educational opportunities in France and presents data collected from cohorts born between 1919 and 1973, a period characterized by educational expansion. Data from large-scale representative French surveys were compiled in such a way as to make accurate historical and international comparisons possible. The paper argues that there has been a shift in social inequalities, from entry into collège (lower secondary school) to entry into lycée (upper secondary school leading to the baccalauréat). Finally, policy implications have been drawn from international comparisons of data on the reduction of social inequality. Cet articl…
Ebola: an open letter to European governments.
2014
After months of inaction and neglect from the international community, the Ebola epidemic in west Africa has now spiralled utterly out of control. Today, the virus is a threat not only to the countries where the outbreak has overwhelmed the capacity of national health systems, but also to the entire world. We urge our governments to mobilise all possible resources to assist west Africa in controlling this horrific epidemic. Based on our expertise in public health and emergency response, we believe the following measures would be particularly eff ective. First, with regards to human resources, given the huge need for trained health-care professionals in west Africa, we urge European governme…

Pathways to higher education in France and Switzerland: Do vocational tracks facilitate access to higher education for immigrant students?
2014
In this chapter we wish to clarify through which institutional pathways higher education is accessed by immigrant group students in Switzerland and France. We have chosen these two countries because they differ from each other both in their educational systems and in the ways new routes to higher education have been set up through vocationally orientated programmes. The educational landscape in France is characterised by a more school-based system and has a greater tradition of prestigious tertiary education institutions (Duru-Bellat et al., 2008). Moreover, traditional vocational education and training (VET) does not have very high status and therefore fails to attract a large proportion o…

Vers de nouveaux modes de gouvernement des systèmes éducatifs ? Les leçons des comparaisons internationales
2002
Dans la plupart des pays développés, l'autonomie des établissements scolaires s'est accrue, accompagnée en général par une surveillance de leurs performances et par des mécanismes d'incitation. Par ailleurs, les parents peuvent davantage choisir l'école de leurs enfants. Cela s'est passé en France aussi, mais de façon plus retenue, et sans que le mode de régulation du système éducatif n'évolue en conséquence. Cet article présente les politiques implantées à l'étranger en la matière, en particulier au Royaume-Uni et dans certains Etats ou Districts des Etats-Unis, et le bilan que l'on peut faire des politiques de choix de l'école comme des politiques d'autonomie/régulation par les résultats.…
: Policies of decentralization in education : international diversity, theoretical reasoning, empirical evidence
2004
Over the past two decades, decentralization of governments has become common throughout the world. The education sector is no exception. Countries with diverse economic, spatial, demographic and educational features have implemented significant decentralization reforms. The traditional typology of educational functions, characterized by contrasts between central states federal states has grown enriched with families of newly decentralized educational systems. However, despite the polical popularity of decentralization reforms, neither economic and political theories nor empirical evaluations give consistent grounds for this worldwide trend. Despite an impressive amount of literature, mainly…
: Why are fifteen year old French students performing less than their counterparts from other countries ?
2003
Why are fifteen year old French students performing less than their counterparts from other countries ? The scores of French students at the PISA international assessment are disappointing. This article is an attempt to understand why, through a comparison between the French situation and that of those countries which outperform France. This country appears to be in a rather favourable situation regarding the family and students attitude towards schooling and regarding the organisational framework of schooling, while in a rather unfavourable one regarding the teacher's attitudes towards learning and pupils. The article also tries to see if the French system does not compensate by a high deg…
Ocean acidification affects fish spawning but not paternity at CO2 seeps
2016
Fish exhibit impaired sensory function and altered behaviour at levels of ocean acidification expected to occur owing to anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions during this century. We provide the first evidence of the effects of ocean acidification on reproductive behaviour of fish in the wild. Satellite and sneaker male ocellated wrasse (Symphodus ocellatus) compete to fertilize eggs guarded by dominant nesting males. Key mating behaviours such as dominant male courtship and nest defence did not differ between sites with ambient versus elevated CO2 concentrations. Dominant males did, however, experience significantly lower rates of pair spawning at elevated CO2 levels. Despite the higher r…
