Par Marie Duru-Bellat. Dans son récent article – « A quel prix doit-on viser l’objectif de 60 % de diplômés du Supérieur ? » – Nicolas Charles explore à juste titre les conséquences financières qu’aurait la réalisation de cet objectif de prime abord très consensuel.
Consensuel chez les universitaires, majoritaires dans le groupe qui a produit le rapport dit STRANES en septembre 2015 (« Quarante propositions pour une stratégie nationale de l’enseignement supérieur »), où, en guise de stratégie, on égrène des axes extrêmement généraux : construire une société apprenante, favoriser une réelle ascension sociale, répondre aux aspirations de la jeunesse.

By Paul Maylam. The legacy of the British colonialist Cecil John Rhodes has sparked angry protests from Cape Town to Oxford. In the wake of the #RhodesMustFall campaign, which resulted in his statue being removed from the University of Cape Town, students at Oxford have clamoured for another statue at Oriel College Oxford to be removed. Now the name of the Rhodes Scholarship, funded by the estate of Rhodes and handed out to international postgraduates to study at Oxford by the Rhodes Trust, is under attack.
