They then lift a bias by encouraging fellows to apply

How to make that a large school has 30 of stock students, when only 10 of the candidates are It is certainly not easy. A solution to the problem would be to ensure that more stock students applying... and it is quite possible.

To quote the example of Telecom Ecole de Management, that I lead, 28 of students are stock. A threshold that we reached with the number of stock candidates who have applied in 2009. In 2010, with more than 40 of fellows among the registered candidates to date for the entrance exam, we should reach the famous threshold of 30...

To achieve this he must communicate on social measures. To increase the number of stock candidates, we have taken a number of measures to which students have obviously not been insensitive: extension of the system of scholarships, establishment of a social fund, to aid housing, initially abroad (to facilitate the movement and installation on the mandatory international visits, costly forts for students), physical endowments in laptops and reference worksetc. In the end, if we have a budget "Scholarship" of 350,000 euros, the social fund dedicated to these operations is of 100,000 additional euros.

It is not prohibited to schools to communicate on social measures that many of them have already been taken. They then lift a bias by encouraging fellows to apply.

Increase the number of students holding scholarship, not must also not be of concern. The remuneration obtained from us as soon as their first job show that the quality of education in a large school works as a real social elevator.

A real consequence of the increase in the number of Fellows is the modification of the budgetary balances of schools. How to continue to operate a facility if one-third of students does not pay tuition fees A solution would be to generalize the learning in business school. Well developed in secondary education, it is still too tentatively implemented in higher education. And this formula makes particular sense in our schools where the professionalization of the students is one of the first objectives of the training.

At this point, it remains an issue which needs to be addressed: the competition for entry to schools, that is because it involves many bias, meets the requirements of a modern world in which schools are expected to prepare their students

Some schools place their bar for eligibility the highest possible, thereby strengthening the selection on the sole criterion of the writing, which is known that it is socially discriminating. It is probably an effect induced by some classifications, for which the level of the bar of eligibility is a criterion of excellence of the school. Personally, I am not obsessed by the question - or these rankings - and I deliberately set the bar low enough to be able to see the number of candidates; oral a decision based on the observation that a simple writing advantage not to have the opportunity we show the true richness of their personality orally.

That's a few ideas that schools can implement quickly and their level. But it must be remembered that we come at the end of the educational channel. The France should not keep large schools as only social failures of the system of training of its elites.
