Je viens de refaire des dessins avec les stats de l'éduc nat' sur les IPS des #collèges en France.

La conclusion reste la même : il faut supprimer la notion de privé sous contrat car le séparatisme des riches et du goupillon c'est pourri.

“Students are humans first. They’re adults, yes, but they’re also stepping into situations they’ve been in for the first time,” Watts said. “If your communities are starting to see an uptick in basic needs and access to [food], then it’s likely reflected on college campuses as well.”

2 in 5 college students are experiencing food insecurity across the country. In Minnesota, the demand for access to free healthy foods continues to rise as higher grocery prices mean more students need to rely on food aid to stay in school.

Hype for the Future 168E: List of Public State Colleges and Universities in the Deep South 🇺🇸

Introduction Within the United States of America, the Deep South refers specifically to the States of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. While the state university systems are, of course, separated by state, the overall cultural influences of universities in the region are largely similar in nature. Compared to the more academically-focused New England model of education, the Deep South is often more culturally focused in terms of the overall educational […]

“There is a migration away from the small #LiberalArts #schools toward the big public or private #research institutions” with more student activities & academic offerings, particularly in #business & #technology, Selingo said.

Jeffrey Selingo, an author of several books on #HigherEducation, says many small #schools in the Northeast & Midwest are facing enrollment problems, as shrinking states produce fewer young people.
