Parcoursup: "Selection is not the enemy of equal opportunities"

The promise of ending university selection is misleading and dangerous, as it falsely assures youth of easy access to jobs. This approach risks creating generations of unemployed graduates burdened by precarious contracts. Instead, there should be a focus on promoting vocational training that leads to employment. Many students enroll in fields with poor job prospects, contributing to a rising youth unemployment rate. The financial burden of university education is significant, with many students failing to progress beyond their first year. Meanwhile, businesses struggle to find skilled workers, highlighting a disconnect between education and labor market needs. Addressing this issue is crucial for maintaining social stability and economic growth.
