Lycées militaires : une directive précise les critères de sélection après la polémique sur le hors contrat

In brief

A new directive has specified selection criteria for military high schools following a controversy regarding students from private schools that do not have a contract with the state.

The directive addresses concerns about whether students from non-contractual private education are penalized during the application process for preparatory classes at military schools. This follows a report from Le Figaro in early July regarding the Prytanée National Militaire de la Flèche, a prestigious institution offering preparatory classes for military exams. The report noted that the school had explicitly mentioned the school history of applicants in its selection process.
