La onzième édition de Géographie de l’école décrit les caractéristiques spatiales du système de formation français et s’efforce d’approfondir l’analyse des disparités territoriales au niveau infra-académique. Trente-cinq indicateurs, le plus souvent relatifs à l’année scolaire 2013-2014, sont actualisés, illustrés de nombreuses cartes ou graphiques et accompagnés de données détaillées au niveau local. Quatre études complètent ce panorama en proposant de caractériser précisément les territoires. L’ouvrage montre ainsi la diversité des contextes éducatifs et éclairent les évolutions enregistrées au cours de la dernière décennie.
Publication annuelle de la direction de l’évaluation, de la prospective et de la performance, RERS présente un vaste ensemble d’indicateurs statistiques. Déclinée en plus de 180 thématiques, cette information constitue une référence pour toute réflexion sur l’évolution du système d’enseignement et de recherche français.
In 2011, gross domestic expenditure on R&D (GERD) stood at €45.0 billion, up by 2.3% in volume compared with 2010. The increase in GERD was the result of significant growth in business R&D expenditure. Business enterprises contributed around 2.2 percentage points to the increase in GERD, with government contributing 0.1 points.
The 6th edition of Higher Education and Research, Facts and Figures provides an annual overview, backed up by figures, of the French higher education and research system, with its changes, resources and outcomes. These data are provided by the statistical departments of various Ministries, for example the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, the Ministry of Education and the Ministries for the Economy and Finance, but also from other organisations such as the Centre for Study and Research in Training and Education Policy, the National Observatory of Student Life, the French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, the Science and Technology Observatory, and the OECD.
In 2010, gross domestic expenditure on R&D (GERD) stood at €43.4 billion, up by 2.8% in volume compared with 2009. The increase in GERD was the result of a sustained increase in business research and development (R&D) expenditure. Firms contributed around 1.65 percentage points to the increase in GERD, with government accounting for 1.15 points. The research intensity for the country as a whole, measured as the ratio of GERD to GDP, stood at 2.24% in 2010. This should remain stable 2.25% in 2011. Due to a slight slowdown in government expenditure, GERD is likely to increase in 2011 at a lower rate (+2.2% in volume), but this will still be a faster rate than that of GDP (+1.7% in volume). In 2010, R&D activities in business enterprises and government mobilised 393,000 full-time equivalent staff.
Higher Education and Research, Facts and Figures provides an annual overview, backed up by figures, of the French higher education and research system, in order to show where the country stands internationally and to monitor changes, especially over the long term.
Funding, human resources, access to higher education, study paths, pass rates, qualifications, integration of graduates into working life, student life, research in biotechnology or nanotechnology, participation in FP7, publications, patents, etc. - all these topics are covered in the 42 fact sheets that make up the 5th edition (2011) of this work.
In 2009, gross domestic expenditure on research and development (GERD) stood at €42.7 billion, up 3.5% in volume compared with 2008. This increase is likely to be less sustained in 2010 (+1.4% in volume). In 2009, the GERD/GDP ratio, which measures the nation's research effort, reached its highest level since 1996: it stood at 2.26% and this is likely to be maintained in 2010. The significant rise in GERD is the result of an increased effort on the part of the government, which contributed as much as 2.4 percentage points to this growth. Despite the economic and financial crisis, business enterprises have continued their work in research: they contributed around 1.1 points to the rise in GERD. At the same time, employment in research is increasing at the same pace as in 2008 (+2%). In 2009, 394,000 people were working in research and development (R&D) in business enterprises and in government.
