Olivier Becht: Abolish Parcoursup and replace it with an additional baccalauréat examination
Proposal put forward by Olivier Becht on October 19, 2026. Topic: Higher Education and Research. The observatory also publishes quotes from 5 other public figures on this topic.
Parcoursup will be abolished and replaced by an additional baccalauréat examination, specific to each specialty, determining admission to university, to a grande école, to an IUT or to a BTS, whose places will be adjusted to the real needs of employment, for selection on merit and not by an algorithm with vague criteria.
Original quote (French)
Parcoursup sera supprimé et remplacé par une épreuve complémentaire au baccalauréat, propre à chaque spécialité, conditionnant l’entrée à l’université, en grande école, en IUT ou en BTS, dont les places seront ajustées aux besoins réels de l’emploi, pour une sélection au mérite et non par un algorithme aux critères flous.Source: becht2027.fr
