Higher Education and Research, Facts and Figures presents an annual overview, backed up by figures, of developments within the French system, its resources and outcomes. Wherever the data permit, an international comparison is provided. A double page is devoted to each of the 50 themes, including a summary of the latest available data along with graphs, tables and comments.
L’État de l’emploi scientifique 2016 correspond à une publication statistique biennale. Elle rassemble des études et statistiques permettant d'éclairer les différents domaines d'activité des personnels qui relèvent de l'emploi scientifique en France. Il couvre à la fois la recherche menée dans les organismes et les établissements d'enseignement supérieur et celle réalisée en entreprise.
La nouvelle édition 2016 permet de mieux connaître la recherche menée dans les organismes et les établissements d'enseignement supérieur et celle réalisée en entreprise. En effet, le rapport 2016 intègre une approche de l'emploi scientifique par grands champs disciplinaires avec une consolidation ou une mise en cohérence des données portant sur les établissements d'enseignement supérieur, les organismes de recherche (EPST/EPIC) et les entreprises.
Les données statistiques sont présentées selon des périmètres, conventions et unités communs, conformément aux conventions internationales édictées par le manuel de Frascati, dans les limites de la disponibilité des données.
En outre, au-delà de la seule observation statistique, la publication intègre une dimension prospective, qu'il s'agisse du vivier des chercheurs (doctorants) ou des projections de départs en retraite.
L'état de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche en France constitue un état des lieux annuel et chiffré du système français, de ses évolutions, des moyens qu’il met en œuvre et de ses résultats, en le situant, chaque fois que les données le permettent, au niveau international. Chacune des 50 fiches présente au moyen de graphiques, de tableaux et de commentaires, les dernières données de synthèse disponibles sur chaque sujet.
In 2015-16, according to the forecasts from the provisional baccalauréat results, the career choices made in previous years and the initial information available for the year in progress, the number of students in higher education as a whole should increase by 1.6%. This corresponds to around 40,000 extra students in one year. Rates of entry into higher education should be slightly higher than the previous year, due to an increase in the number of general series baccalauréat holders.
By 2024, the number of baccalauréat holders should have increased significantly compared with 2014, as a result of demographic changes. If trends in terms of career choice, continuing studies and demographics persist, higher education should welcome over 2.81 million students in 2024, 335,000 more students than in 2014.

In January 2014, around 57,000 students enrolled on the first year of a common healthcare studies course (PACES). First introduced in the academic year 2010-11, this course now covers the four disciplines of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and midwifery.
37% of the students enrolled on a PACES course for the first time in 2010-11 who passed their first semester continued onto a second year of medical studies within one or two years. Due to the more frequent reorientations provided for by the PACES reform for students experiencing difficulties at the end of the first semester, this rate is slightly higher than for the previous generation (2009-10).
Although the PACES reform did not affect the sociodemographic characteristics of first year students, whose social background is marked by an over-representation of students from the higher socio-economic categories, it did however have an effect on the profiles of those who enrolled on one of the four medical programmes, in particular midwifery where the students admitted are almost exclusively female.
The regional atlas of student numbers offers a territorialised approach to higher education courses in France.
It is organised by region and provides a detailed overview of higher education territories: the maps give a clear overall vision of the distribution of students and the tables provide details of these students by agglomeration and commune according to course type.

At the start of the 2014-15 academic year, according to forecasts based on the provisional results of the baccalauréat and the course choices seen in previous years, student numbers seemed set to increase by 1.6% across higher education as a whole. The number of students entering higher education also appears to be higher than last year, as a result of a significant increase in vocational baccalauréat holders and a slight rise in the rates of general and technological baccalauréat holders pursuing their studies.
Looking ahead to 2023, the number of general baccalauréat holders will probably increase significantly compared with 2013 across all series, mainly due to dynamic demographic growth.
As a result of the introduction of priority guidance measures, the rate of students continuing their studies has improved and there has been a rise in the number of vocational baccalauréat holders going into Advanced technician's sections (¦Section de technicien supérieur - ¦STS), and those from the technological series going into University technology institutes (¦Institut universitaire de technologie - ¦IUT).
If trends in terms of guidance, further studies and demographic growth were to continue, student numbers would increase by 9% between 2013 and 2023.
At the start of the 2013-14 academic year, according to forecasts based on the provisional results of the baccalauréat and the course choices seen in previous years, student numbers seemed set to increase by 1.5% across all higher education as a whole.
However, the numbers of students entering higher education remained the same as last year, while the number of baccalauréat holders decreased at the 2013 session. Looking ahead to 2022, the number of general baccalauréat holders will probably increase by 12.9% compared with 2012, while the number of technological baccalauréat holders seems set to decline by 3.2%. Numbers of students with a vocational baccalauréat will see an adjustment after the cyclical peak of 2012 (-8.6% between 2012 and 2022), but are likely to remain higher than in 2011 (+12.2%). Following this influx of general baccalauréat holders, if trends in terms of career guidance and continuing education were to continue, student numbers would increase by 8% in universities between 2012 and 2022, by 12.3% in classes preparing for admission to Grandes Écoles (¦Classe préparatoire aux grandes écoles - ¦CPGE), by 4.1% in Technological university institutes (Institut universitaire de technologie - IUT) and by 0.1% in the Advanced technician’s sections (Section de technicien supérieur - STS). Higher education could therefore include almost 2.6 million students in 2022, or 200,000 more than at the start of 2012.
