Our calculation
lever that cannot be costed
Lever with no coefficient in the cost schedule: the position is compared, not costed.
Current law, sources and limits of the cost schedule
Current law. Loi ORE of 2018: Parcoursup. Non-selective bachelor's programmes (licences) may answer « oui si » [“yes, if”]; master's programmes have been selective since 2017.
Horizon. Not applicable.
Limits. Abolishing or tightening selection costs nothing in itself. However, a promise of additional places has a cost, which depends on the cost per student (not sourced here); it is costed only if a candidate announces a number of places.
- Sénat, avis PLF 2026 Recherche et enseignement supérieur, 2025-11: « 18,8 milliards d'euros prévus sur les programmes 150 « Formations supérieures et recherche universitaire » et 231 « Vie étudiante » »
How to read these amounts. These are static costs and revenues, with no feedback effect, over a full year: nothing on growth, employment or the revenue that economic activity would gain or lose. A higher net cost does not on its own make a worse policy, nor net savings a better one: each programme rests on an economic model (demand-led stimulus, lower compulsory levies, consolidation of the public accounts…) that the cost schedule does not settle. GDP itself measures a volume of activity, not well-being or the usefulness of what is produced. Economic models and feedback effects.
