The Failing French Education System

2 December 2009, 18:12, by Patricia

One went to le Parc in Lyon, another is at Montpellier ding law and a third has gone to Lyon university. The fourth will probably go to a prepa as well.

But it was the experience both of the children at school and my child at the Lyon prepa that literature was a case of reading critiques rather than the actual books.
I hope that both of these are exceptions.
I know there are several prepas, the stats were for the grand ecoles that were in the world rankings.

I would have liked them all to go to foreign universitiies not only for the level, but for the experience of living and studying in a foreign culture.
However they are French :)
I agree with you that there is a bias towards anglophone countries in the shanghai rankings, but there again look at Belgium and Germany...
