AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The French government will launch a new "Concours général des collèges" in the 2026-2027 school year, inspired by the prestigious "Concours général" for high school students. Education Minister Édouard Geffray announced the initiative, aiming to motivate top middle school students and foster academic competition. Each school can nominate up to 10% of its students in five subjects: mathematics, French, history-geography, visual arts, and computer science, with gender parity required for each category. Registration will open in the fall. The goal is to create emulation among middle schools and recognize various forms of excellence, potentially with national and academic rankings. The initiative has already drawn criticism from some, who question its suitability for middle school students.
