What the Funding Program Includes
The association of university presidents particularly welcomes 15,000 new places in higher education. Of these, 10,000 are for BTS training programs.
A further €200 million will be made available from 2027 for renovating university buildings. According to Le Monde, the presidents consider these measures a welcome first step.
Why Underfunding Continues
Despite the announced additional funding and university places, the university presidents say the underfunding has not been conclusively resolved. The government's first major step does not change the fundamental funding issue.
For students and universities, this means: More capacity and renovations are planned, but the association does not yet see lasting financial stability.
What Would Be Important Next
The sources name no further concrete measures or amounts. The only certainty is that the university presidents consider the government's response so far inadequate for combating underfunding, while viewing the approved steps positively.
