1, a unique school-running model.
As the main force of the popularization of French higher education, comprehensive universities adopt an open mode of running schools without a unified national examination. Anyone who holds a high school graduation exam or equivalent diploma can register at the university.
Therefore, comprehensive universities are generally large in scale, but students' grades are uneven. The enrollment of French universities is completely different. All enrolled students must go through two years of preparatory study. 10% of high school graduates enter the preparatory class. After two years of hard work and strict examinations, only 50% of them can finally enter the university after repeated screening.
2. Clear the goal of personnel training.
There are three types of French universities, and the training objectives of each type of school are very clear. The talent training goal of engineering college represented by Paris Institute of Technology is to train senior managers and engineering technicians for the country, and the training of engineers is more focused on the future.
The training goal of business schools represented by Paris Business School is to train middle-level managers in enterprises, so that students can master a set of high-level management techniques skillfully and have the quality of establishing good interpersonal relationships and good behavior. The training goal of the School of Administration, represented by the National School of Administration and Paris Normal University, is to train senior civil servants for the country.
3. Multi-faceted talent training methods.
In order to ensure the quality of students' training and adapt to the era of rapid development of science and technology, colleges and universities generally adopt multi-faceted talent training methods.
The so-called multi-faceted training is actually a comprehensive education and training of future professionals, including basic theoretical disciplines, applied technology disciplines, non-technical disciplines and practical ability, so that a single technical person can become a "multi-faceted" professional talent.
French engineers should not only master solid scientific and technological knowledge, but also have agile reasoning ability, and must also understand the knowledge of economy, management, law, humanities, society, environment, industrial ecology and so on.
