Parcoursup “has changed everything without adjusting anything”, according to a report by collective our public services

Pointing the perverse effects of the guidance platform for future students, the collective of a hundred civil servants advocates, in a report published Wednesday, June 1, to re-register in the law Liberty for the graduates of S ‘ Register in the establishment of their choice and to create places up to the needs expressed.

In five years of existence, Parcoursup has resumed entry into higher education until creating a new type of candidates: “the pending generation”. This is the thesis defended by the Collective Our Public Services, made up of a hundred senior officials and public officials, in a Report Published Wednesday 1 er June, while the platform is preparing to deliver its first admission results, Thursday, June 2 .

This procedure, which succeeded post-bac admission (APB), introduced a logic of classification for non-selective training, which induces “lists and a considerable waiting time for students , for results to say the least contrasting “, maintains the collective which sees no improvement thanks to the reform, 150,000 graduates not affected in any training” Each year since 2012 “.

By preferring a systematic classification of all applications rather than targeted responses according to hierarchical choices by the candidates, Parcoursup has embraced “the logic of the queue”. “The round trips which were once made by the APB algorithm are today made by the high school students themselves”, illustrates Arnaud Bontemps, senior official from the Court of Auditors and spokesperson for the collective. “What the APB algorithm was doing in 48 hours, it takes a month and a half now to obtain it, because it is more than 800,000 humans who make the interaction by accepting, refusing and putting the proposals on hold “, Complete Julien Gossa, lecturer in computer science at the University of Strasbourg, member of the collective too.

” step for private higher education “

The cost of Parcoursup would also be exorbitant: the study figures the annual expenditure at 100 million euros – the equivalent of 2,000 full -time teachers. Throughout the procedure, which stretches until September (for the very last candidates who remained unanswered), “more than 2.6 million hours are devoted by the teaching teams of secondary education to train the Students in controlling a procedure whose rules change each year, to manage the many interface problems, compile disparate data to create the files, help the writing of motivation letters, make rankings, formulate assessments for each wish “, lists the report.

Parcoursup would degrade the year of terminal by shortening the school calendar, the applications files being completed in April. “Students have 20 weeks of lessons who count, or only 60 % of a school year, calculates Emmanuel Zemmour, professor in terminal at the Pavillons-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis), another member of the collective. The 12 weeks remains of the year of final year are a great decompression because the students know that they will no longer have any tests, which makes a third of the year when the educational objectives are extremely vague. “The teacher underlines stress What does each note represent, from the class of 1 re sup>. “A failed evaluation can be experienced as a questioning of future guidance strategies in the student’s higher education, he reports. We face sometimes virulent negotiation attempts on the part of families, themselves under pressure. “
