3. Academic guidance : a challenge ignored The French higher education system is really a very complex system with many players in the public policy : - Hard to understand for students and partners; - A lot of tiny institutions (around 1000 students); => Academic guidance should be useful and developed. But, usually, guidance is not really a priority neither for Grandes coles nor universities : - Grandes coles select their students and success rate is very high - Universities have to host all students that have their Baccalaur at, almost without possibility to select.

When he has made his definitive choice, registration in the institution. RAIMBAULT Philippe The French education system
