Detox. No, 100% of CROUS accommodation has not been renovated

No more poorly insulated rooms and mold on the ceiling. According to Frédérique Vidal, all students in France would now be housed in brand new residences. Attacked after Emmanuel Macron’s declaration on the financing of universities, on January 18, in the National Assembly, the Minister of Higher Education saw fit to praise the achievements of the five-year period during which, she says, ” 100% of CROUS accommodation » have been renovated.

Except that it is a shortcut, because the student housing renovation policy, the Campus plan, was launched in 2008 under Nicolas Sarkozy. Before being brought up to date four years later by François Hollande. Very late, this plan should deliver its last projects by 2023.

What is true, however, is that the current government has also launched a major renovation operation, more than 250 million euros allocated to the CROUS network. But Frédérique Vidal sells the bear skin before killing it. Because the works undertaken on the old park are for some far from being finished, others have not even started yet.

Contacted by Désintox, the Ministry of Higher Education admits that ” nearly 95% of CROUS student accommodation will be renovated by 2024 “. Until then, many students will therefore have to complete their course in residences that are sometimes of another age.
