Le classement mondial des grandes écoles et Universités est paru.
Pas terrible pour la France qui n’arrive pas à classer ses Grandes Ecoles dans le top ten.
Pourtant des Ecoles comme Polytechnique ou Centrale recrutent la crème de la crème et ont un sacré niveau mais elles pâtissent du fait que l’éducation en France n’est pas orientée « publications et communication » comme dans les pays anglo-saxons.
On peut le regretter quand on voit ces classements mais peut-on le regretter quand on voit que notre système éducatif considère encore que l’élève est le client et qu’il ne s’agit pas d’être une école « business » orientée vers les journalistes et le show.
Autre spécificité française: les meilleurs vont dans les Grandes Ecoles alors qu’ailleurs, c’est le mot « universités » qui fait foi .. Or nos Universités ne draient pas les meilleurs élèves.
Dans tout cela, l’état aurait peut-être quelque chose à faire pour rendre plus lisible aux étrangers l’excellence réellement existante de nos Grandes Ecoles.
