Rapid Expansion of private education

With 436,100 students, representing a rise of more than 50 % in ten years, private education is indeed rapidly expanding.

According to the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the total student population has increased eight-fold over the past 50 years and should continue to grow. According to its forecasts, the number of students will exceed 2.5 million by 2020. 80 % of the growth in numbers in higher education has been in the private sector.

The sector includes independent higher education establishments, of which there are around fifteen in Paris and provincial regions, providing education of a general nature to nearly 30,000 students.

There are currently around fifty private engineering schools and some sixty private business schools, awarding diplomas approved or stamped by the Ministry, which have obtained state recognition and which are considered to be a useful complement to state higher education.

Fully-fledged businesses with specific characteristic

Private education establishments must meet the same requirements as a normal business in terms of organisation, monitoring and steering and present important specific characteristics in the areas of administrative and financial management, taxation and human resource management which require appropriate expertise, organisation and tools.
