The French government plans to replace Parcoursup for the 2028 admissions campaign and introduce class-size limits for high school students, a measure announced by the Education Ministry on October 26. The plan includes capping classes at 28 students in disadvantaged high schools starting in 2027, and extending this limit to all high schools in 2028. The government also proposed 15,000 additional higher-education places between 2027 and 2028, along with €4 billion for high school renovations and €1 billion for campus investment.
