Post-bac admission: an algorithmically constrained " free choice "

Leïla Frouillou

Résumé

The RAVEL sectorization system and the " free choice " Post-Bac Admission (APB) system which followed in 2009, are systems for assigning admission to undergraduate study [the " Licence " ] in the Île-de-France administrative region 1 and can be defined as control tools. Grey literature and interviews with stakeholders and students (enrolled at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis) were used to get into the " black box " , as it were, to explain the selection process the APB algorithm puts in place on the basis of geographic priorities (regional and then based on académie 2), and lotteries in the event of greater demand than spaces available in " non-selective " university programs. The resulting inequalities in access can be felt and expressed by the students in terms of unfairness. The spatial dimension of these inequalities is more than just part of the internal functioning of the system; it is rife with implications in the priority granted to the baccalaureates from the académie (as previously in the RAVEL sectorization system). It draws more deeply on their educational socialization; students' degree of familiarity with these post-secondary guidance and enrolment procedures depends both on their social standing and their secondary school [lycée] (differences in guidance counselling, role of peer groups and collective orientations).
