The establishment of a new system of levels and degrees in tertiary
education has provided an opportunity to renew the content of the
programmes and continue to strive towards academic excellence in higher
education, with of course the goal of maintaining the French system at
the highest international standard.
On the one hand, the
tertiary education system has to meet the superior qualification
standards necessary for our country in a context of life-long
education. On the other, it has to ensure that French science and
culture have their proper place on the international stage and are
transmitted to students throughout the world.
Two more specific
objectives are, namely, to improve internal efficiency in the education
system by reducing failure rates in licence programmes and to develop
access to resources for the purpose of education and research.
In
the area of research, these objectives focus not only on the
significance of scientific excellence and achieving the top
international level, but also improving the economic and social impact
of research, building more interest in the field, and developing the
capacity to distribute the results and products of research while
continuing to make advances.
