The government promised the abolition of the platform for the 2027 campaign. It also announced a gradual transformation starting in 2027, ahead of a replacement in 2028. Established by law in 2018, Parcoursup can be undone only by law.
While high-school students were once again called on to mobilize on Tuesday, November 10, the executive has still not presented the budgetary measures likely to address their demands.
According to the account of the meeting, what followed was “an interminable round of the table”: lawmakers repeated what they had already said during the debate held under Article 50-1. Political groups were nonetheless able to set out their position on the system meant to succeed Parcoursup.
Dig deeper
What is Matignon?
It is the seat of the Prime Minister, in Paris, where the executive is receiving members of Parliament for this consultation on the post-Parcoursup period.
What is Parcoursup?
It is the national platform that guides high-school students toward higher education; created by law in 2018, it can be abolished only by a new law.
What is Article 50-1 of the Constitution?
It allows the government to make a statement to Parliament followed by a debate without a vote, a framework in which the parliamentary groups had already set out their positions.
Why does this consultation matter?
High-school students are mobilizing while the executive has yet to present budgetary measures responding to their demands, and while the successor to Parcoursup remains to be defined.
What does the announced timetable provide for?
A gradual transformation starting in 2027, then a replacement of the system in 2028, following the commitment to end the platform for the 2027 admissions campaign.
