Cette hausse scandaleuse représente une charge supplémentaire pour les familles dont les revenus n’augmentent pas à la même vitesse et qui sont touchées de plein fouet par une inflation galopante. Désormais le montant maximal atteint des sommes astronomiques car il faudra débourser
14 437€ pour le Collège Universitaire et presque
20 000€ pour étudier en master. Ces hausses concernent également les classes moyennes qui relativement à leurs revenus paient déjà des sommes très importantes.
De nombreuses familles ont vu leurs revenus diminuer ces deux dernières années et se trouvent en difficulté au moment de payer leurs frais, notamment les classes moyennes. Les étudiant.e.s extracommunautaires doivent s'acquitter des frais les plus élevés indépendamment de leurs revenus ce qui va à l'encontre de la politique d'ouverture sociale que Sciences Po promeut.
L’UNEF Sciences Po réaffirme que ce n’est pas aux étudiant.e.s de payer le prix de la situation économique actuelle du pays et de Sciences Po ainsi que du désengagement de l’État dans le financement de l’enseignement supérieur !
Monsieur le Directeur, l'urgence sociale et la précarité étudiante imposent une réponse forte de la part de Sciences Po. Nous vous demandons de revenir sur cette décision et d'engager à terme une baisse des frais d'inscription pour que tout le monde puisse étudier sereinement à Sciences Po indépendamment de sa situation financière.
ENGLISH VERSION
Dear Director,
Last week, the management of Sciences Po announced to the student unions that a 9.46% increase in registration fees for the 2023 academic year will be voted on at the next Conseil de l’Institut on 6 December. This new increase is not acceptable. In your program, you indicated that you were opposed to a new fee increase.
In March, the Sciences Po Board of Directors voted to reform the way registration fees are reindexed in line with inflation. From now on, the development of registration fees takes into account both the projected inflation in France for the coming year, and the difference between actual and forecast inflation for the previous year – which is new to the current system. This represents a 9.46% increase in registration fees this year.
This outrageous increase represents an additional burden for families whose incomes are not growing at the same rate and who are hit hard by runaway inflation. Now the maximum amount has reached astronomical sums because it will cost €14,437 for the University College and almost €20,000 to join the Master's degree. These increases also affect the middle classes, who already pay very large amounts of money relative to their incomes.
Many families have seen their incomes drop over the past two years and are struggling to pay their fees, especially the middle classes. Students outside the European Union have to pay the highest fees regardless of their income, which is contrary to the social openness policy promoted by Sciences Po.
UNEF Sciences Po reaffirms that it is not up to students to pay the price of the current economic situation of the country and Sciences Po as well as the withdrawal of the State from the financing of higher education!
Mr Director, the social emergency and student insecurity require a strong response from Sciences Po. We ask you to reconsider this decision and eventually lower the registration fees so that everyone can study serenely at Sciences Po regardless of their financial situation.
