Formation Continue du Supérieur

Les services statistiques de l’Éducation nationale publient l’édition 2015 de Repères et références statistiques qui consacre un volet aux apprentis. L’étude indique que la part des apprentis de niveau IV en provenance de la voie scolaire a baissé entre 2012 et 2013, au profit des entrées en provenance de l’apprentissage.
Près de la moitié des apprentis inscrits en 2013-2014 pour préparer le baccalauréat avaient déjà obtenu un diplôme en apprentissage, contre 44 % l’année précédente. Cette progression se retrouve chez les jeunes préparant un diplôme de niveau I ou II (licence, master, diplôme d’ingénieurs).
Le Poitou-Charentes fait partie des régions où la proportion d'apprentis, parmi les 16-25 ans, est la plus importante (entre 6 et 7 %). Le poids de l'apprentissage dans le second cycle est de 33,5 % (63 % au niveau V et 19% au niveua IV) alors que la moyenne nationale se situe autour de 30 %.
A noter : un volet sur la formation tout au long de la vie est également abordé, dans le document, appréhendé sous l’angle du nombre de stagiaires, du niveau d’enseignement, du nombre de certifications obtenues et du financement.

Universities UK is stepping up its campaign to promote the value of European Union membership for the higher education sector over the coming weeks and months. We will campaign across the country with powerful evidence and compelling stories, in the media, through public events, and working with partners across the university sector and beyond.

Those of you who are exhausted, elated, depressed or turned off by the recent political drama in the UK might want to find solace and respite in the conference on the European Higher Education Area and the Bologna Process to be held this week in Yerevan, Armenia.
For many academics and professional staff the Bologna Process is as much of a mystery as quantitative easing - it is something we know is important but we struggle with the details. Of course there are Bologna  aficionados-  l count myself as one- but for most of the sector it only comes to mind when module outlines have to be translated using the European Credit Transfer System or a student from Denmark chases up a Diploma Supplement.
