The Education Commission, relaunched in 2025, is working to ensure that the specific perspective of Engineering Schools is distinguished from that of other national stakeholders and taken into account in defining the national strategy for skills training at levels 2 to 8 in higher education when developing corresponding public policies.
Between strong professionalisation and connection to academic research, the training model of French Engineering Schools is a unique offering in national and international higher education systems.
Indeed, the demographic, social and economic changes that characterise the current era require schools not only to defend their training model, but also to consider adapting it to the present reality in order to better meet the aspirations of young people, provide high-quality technical and cross-disciplinary skills to society, and anticipate needs related in particular to climate change and geopolitical uncertainty.
