Created in 1945 by General de Gaulle, the ENA was abolished on January 1 to make way for the new National Institute of Public Service (INSP) wanted by Emmanuel Macron as part of a vast reform of the senior civil service.
“The extinction of the prefectural corps and the diplomatic corps” and “the suppression of our school” have been “orchestrated without sufficient visibility” and “deeply destabilized the officials concerned”deplore these future senior officials of the National School of Administration.
As for the creation of the INSP, “it has so far resulted in a chaotic curriculum”according to them, with “brutal changes in the content of the teachings (which) gave rise to permanent improvisation”.
Students also point “the uncertainty and opacity generated by the new exit tests, which are still not defined less than thirty days from their deadline” when they were supposed to “return to a classification decried for generations”. They “on the contrary reinforce the arbitrariness with which our promotion is confronted”, castigates the platform, adopted almost unanimously by the 82 students of the promotion.
