Higher Education Minister Frédérique Vidal announced on Wednesday that university tuition fees would be frozen at the start of the next school year for the second year in a row to help students cope with precariousness.
These registration fees had already been frozen at the start of the September 2020 school year.
“Normally they increase with inflation,” said Frédérique Vidal on Europe 1. The rents for university residences in the Crous will also remain the same, she also indicated, explaining that he was not certain that the students can normally find odd jobs this summer to finance their studies.
An increase in the gauge on the horizon, but not immediately
The minister also declared that she was working on a stronger “face-to-face” recovery at the university.
Currently students can return to class once a week.
"We are hopeful” of being able to further increase the gauge, she said without staring at the horizon.
"We must monitor the health situation, achieve a vaccination rate for the most vulnerable" so "that our hospitals are no longer congested," she said, however.
"It is to be ready as soon as possible that we start working upstream".
Asked also about the controversy at Sciences Po Grenoble, where the main union, the Union Syndicale of the Institute of Political Studies (IEP), on Tuesday demanded sanctions against two professors he suspects of Islamophobia, Frédérique Vidal judged "intolerable that we live this violence at the university".
She affirmed "to condemn the facts very strongly", "all the facts which lead to posting names, to feed on the social networks of the teachers".
