No question however adhere to the single antiphon of the means

In 2002, the right had only barely touched upon the record of higher education during his campaign, simply to promise the tip of the lips more autonomy". This time, it was promised, "réveillée its torpor" according to Nicolas Sarkozy , the UMP is the academic arm of body problem. Eager to show that the failure of the law of 2003 or the crisis of the CPE began its determination, Nicolas Sarkozy yesterday presented a comprehensive project of reform of higher education and research, which he wants to do, he said, "absolute priority" of his project for 2007. "The universities have not done" because they have "little ways", but "our system does not give young people all equal opportunity to fit into life" since 40 fail to get a diploma, launched the President of the UMP, denouncing the selection by the failure. The schools are deemed "too small, insufficiently laid on research, socially monolitiques."

A budget increase of 50

For the nation of a higher education is an asset in the global economic competition and a lever for "social progress", the President of the UMP wants to put the means: 5 billion by 2012 for universities, is a 50 increase in budget. An envelope for specific objectives such as upgrading the salaries of teachers-researchers to combat the brain drain... , but also, said, to "increase" the proportion of young people long graduate (38, compared to 70 in the United States). "Every Bachelor should have a place at the University", was launched. Officially, there is therefore no selection, but a financial pressures on universities that they restrict their less carrying dies. "The State must gradually curtailing funding of the courses without opportunities", he said. The project also provides for double spaces in IUT and licensing to improve the guidance to create a "University common basement" (languages, new technologies, etc.) and to a "massive effort" with local communities, in the direction of students (housing, aid scholarships...) and especially "those who work".

No question, however, adhere to the single antiphon of the means. Nicolas Sarkozy has once again called for an "urgent renovation" governance and dear Presidents of university autonomy. With, this time a proposal clarifies: create "real autonomy for universities voluntary status", which would make free "create or delete positions", to choose their teachers in a national pool to manage their real estate assets, "to develop a research policy", or "merged with other universities. The State would retain prerogatives in the development of qualifications and assessment. Recommendations that go further than the draft law on autonomy buried by the Raffarin Government in 2003.

Salute of proposals

"It is a fact that our research is going wrong," has also launched the President of the UMP, advocating the effort to 20 additional billion by 2012 including 4 billion to the burden of the public power. With, again, a volley of proposals which won't probably that of happy: focus on basic research, submit the universities at the heart of the research, make biotechnology a "national priority", encourage innovative SMEs and transform a part of large research organizations in agency means.
