Mieux enseigner l’histoire et la géographie guyanaise, une nécessité
Sur le blog de Michel Abhervé pour Alternatives économiques. Dans la situation explosive de la Guyane la question de l’éducation est au cœur. Si la dimension quantitative est indéniable suite à l’accroissement naturel d’une population jeune conjuguées à des vagues continuelles d’immigrants , il y a aussi une question forte de l’inadéquation des programmes à la réalité guyanaise.

Representing Universities
By . The practice of granting universities representation in Parliament seems to originate in Scotland sometime in the late 15th or early 16th centuries; certainly by the time James VI of Scotland took the Crown of England in 1603, it was well established. Upon James’ accession to the throne in London, he created Parliamentary constituencies for both Oxford and Cambridge, and gave each two seats (i.e. they were multi-member constituencies and the top two vote-getters won seats). Oxford’s church connections meant that it reliably delivered Royalist or Tory MPs, and some of the greatest names of the age represented it in Parliament, including Isaac Newton and Francis Bacon. Cambridge, on the other hand, was a hotbed of revolutionary activity and was represented at various points by two of Oliver Cromwell’s sons. Briefly, this system spread to the colonies: in the late seventeenth century William & Mary had a seat in the Virginia legislature. More...

We're scaring off future Einsteins
Submitted by Tim Goral. The United States used to welcome scientists and other luminaries from outside our country. This was true even in the 1930s during the rise of fascism in Europe. There was little doubt that the fascist leaders of Germany and Italy posed direct threats to our security, yet among those openly encouraged to seek refuge here were German scientists, many of them Jewish.

L'état de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche en France - 09 les étudiants dans les filières de formation depuis 50 ans
L'état de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche en France constitue un état des lieux annuel et chiffré du système français, de ses évolutions, des moyens qu’il met en œuvre et de ses résultats, en le situant, chaque fois que les données le permettent, au niveau international.
09 les étudiants dans les filières de formation depuis 50 ans
Les inscriptions dans l'enseignement supérieur ont été multipliées par 8 en 50 ans (tableau 09.01). Elles sont ainsi passées de 310 000 étudiants inscrits en 1960 à 2 551 000 en 2015. Les évolutions démographiques devraient se traduire par une nouvelle progression dans les 10 ans à venir, avec des effectifs qui dépasseraient 2 850 000 en 2025. Un nouvel accroissement de la proportion de bacheliers dans une génération ou des taux de poursuite dans l'enseignement supérieur pourraient encore amplifier cette progression. Voir l'article...

09 changes in higher education over the last 50 years: growth and diversification
Like the previous editions, the 9th edition of Higher Education and Research in France, Facts and Figures presents an annual overview, backed up by figures, of developments within the French system, its resources and outcomes.
09 changes in higher education over the last 50 years: growth and diversification
During the 1960s, long university courses led the developments in higher education (table 09.01): their proportion increased from 69% in 1960 to 75% in 1970 (excluding DUT preparations). They then decreased continuously for around 40 years, reaching 57% in 2010, before increasing again very recently (chapter 12). During the 1970s and 1980s, preparations for DUT (university technology diploma) and especially STS (Advanced technician's section) led most of the growth in higher education, related to the significant increase in the number of Bac holders. Between 1970 and 2014, the proportion of students in "other institutions and courses" (see definition) increased from 15% to 24%, demonstrating a diversification in courses giving access to higher education.
Since 2000, numbers in private higher education have increased by 58%, while total numbers increased by 14% over the same period. The private sector had 438,000 students in 2014, which represents one student in six (chart 09.04). It accounts for around a third of STS and engineering school numbers, and all the business and management schools. More...
