La France risque de perdre sa dernière école du top 50 

QS Quacquarelli Symonds, organisation spécialiste de l'analyse de l'enseignement supérieur sort aujourd'hui sa 14ème édition du classement international des universités, classement emblématique de QS: le QS World University Rankings®.

Les tables cette année nous donnent la direction des 959 premières universités mondiales. MIT est pour la sixième année consécutive la meilleure université au monde.

L'édition de cette année nous démontre que les universités françaises perdent de la vitesse sur la scène internationale. C'est une baisse qui se poursuit, avec l'Ecole Normale qui perd 10 places cette année, classée43ème, 20 places derrière sa position du classement de 2015.

39 universités prennent place cette année dans le classement QS World University Rankings. 
Sur ces 39 seules 5 ont amélioré leur place ou rang cette année. 20 ont vu leur place chuter, dont l'Ecole Polytechnique, autre établissement de haut niveau. L 'Ecole Polytechnique a perdu 6 places cette année et se place désormais en 59ème position.  Cette année, les institutions d'Europe de l'Ouest peinent à se placer, et cette tendance est particulièrement marquée en France.

La performance des universités françaises est particulièrement mise à mal dans trois indicateurs utilisés par QS pour élaborer les classements de cette année :

  • 31 sur 39 voient leur score baisser pour le ratio Enseignant / Etudiant. Cet indicateur permet de mesurer la qualité d'enseignement. Cette baisse indique que le système d'enseignement est en lutte avec la taille des salles de cours. 
  • La performance de la recherche française est également en baisse. 31 sur 39 des universités voient la mesure du volume de citations par université baisser. Cette chute peut être attribuée en partie au problème de financement auquel les universités font aujourd'hui face, et d'autre part au poids croissant sur les enseignants.
  • De façon plus significative, 33 des 39 universités ont un score plus bas pour l'indicateur Réputation Académique. Cette baisse peut être expliquée comme une réflexion sur les baisses des deux autres indicateurs, le ratio Enseignant / Etudiant et le volume de citations par université.

Ben Sowter, Directeur des Recherches de QS, nous dit : « Il est clair que l'enseignement supérieur Français a besoin de réformes fondamentales afin de stopper la baisse qu'elle est en train de subir. Des cours surpeuplés et un impact moindre de la recherche ne seront améliorés par des fonds supplémentaires que de façon partielle. Les réponses reçues quant à la réputation dans les derniers classements QS World University Ranking indiquent clairement le manque de confiance actuel dans le système d'enseignement supérieur en France, et seule une interaction rapprochée entre le gouvernement et cette communauté donnera les moyens d'y remédier. »
