Parcoursup, whose registrations began on Thursday, “is a reflection of what this government has been doing for five years”, estimates Anne Hidalgo, PS presidential candidate on franceinfo, Friday January 21. “A totally inhuman system, an algorithm that chooses your life”, Who “serves to select and manage a shortage of places in higher education”.

Anne Hidalgo wants to replace this system “very opaque” by a “human system, long term”, accompanying “young people in their orientation” with “guidance counsellors, trained teachers, greater opportunities to have contact with the world of work. The 3rd year internship is not enough”, deplores the mayor of Paris, who wants to open “a lot more qualifying work-study training and especially the number of university places.”

“I would like us to set a target of 60% of an age group that can go on to higher education”, develops the PS presidential candidate. “Everyone will be able to have a possibility. I propose a system that supports young people in their choice throughout their education. Every young person must be able to have a possibility. And apart from higher education, there is also opportunities for civic services.”
The city councilor also recalls his proposal for a “capital of 5,000 euros”, that it counts “give to every 18-year-old, regardless of income”. “At 18, you may not know what you want to do with your life, or even in which sector you want to enter, but you may have a project. You may want to go to foreigner, learn a language”, she explains, specifying that this capital is an endowment.
“We are in a very malicious country with its youth, we put them under stress, diagnoses Anne Hidalgo. We want to force them to go to a certain sector only because we don’t want to open places in other sectors. Our education system is not at all supportive, does not prepare them for the coming world, in which new skills such as digital skills are needed. I want a profound reform of our education system, in which we give all the place to teachers and in which we support young people, not in brutality, so that they can choose their future, and without making university pay .”
