Some probable consequences of a current drive in France to expand higher education are explored. The drive is to enroll 90 percent of each age cohort in higher education and to have 80 percent of each cohort obtain undergraduate degrees. The change would drastically alter the traditional French university and its mission. (MSE)

Secondary school enrollment will be reduced over the next 13 years, while elementary enrollment will begin to rise steadily.
