Revolution in view in public schools. Determined to take the evil by the root, the Government administers its schools a vigorous lifting, first act of reform more broad of management of the public service (Bill on mobility expects always go to the National Assembly). The NPS and the ENA unveiled their projects these days. The competition of the regional institutes of administration (ERI) in rehabilitation should also become "less academic".
The ENA removes

his classification of output
The amphi garrison (1) will soon be a distant memory. The school announced yesterday deleting his symbolic 2011 and disputed classification of output, which allows for sixty years of students according to their rank in the senior public service bodies (Court of Auditors, Inspection of finance, Council of State, prefectures...). "System is strange: this is not the employer who chooses the profile and skills, it is the student who does only", argued the Budget Minister, Eric Woerth, in support of a reform which said, is not "a technological measure" but "policy choices". To avoid "arbitrary", the classification may be replaced by a "record of ability" (notes, assessment...) and supplemented by a recruitment interview. Students will be more specialized: school intends to create, in addition to the common core, five channels (law, economy, finance, international, social) in partnership with Governments.
"This will be a junior administration, a tool for the first job", explains the Director Bernard Boucault. Because this is also the objective: "déscolariser" school by shortening the curriculum (22 or 25 months against 27) and strengthening the business internship. However, it has, for the time being, excluded from reforming the entrance exam, yet held socially discriminating tests. "We already delete the age conditions." "And we will look at all of the senior public service competitions," promised André Santini, Secretary of State for public service. The two Ministers will make their final report to the head of State late October, after a month of consultation.
The NPS wants "more human judiciary".
The next promotion of the Ecole nationale de la magistrature (ENM) must have a "requirement of listening", "humanity", and "ability to communicate." The school is indeed poised to implement a major reform of his teachings, which will enter into application in February 2009. A full-scale test concerned students and trade unions of magistrates. One of the points of friction is personality test and the test of "implementation status" introduced in the selection at the school entrance tests. "It is strange to have a game of role for the entry in one of the most prestigious schools in the Republic, not to mention the risk of arbitrariness to this type of assessment," indignant Laurent Bedouet, Secretary General of the USM (Trade Union of magistrates).
The reform passed last Friday by the Board of Directors, focuses on the "personal" skills of the future judges. In sum, the school wants more just form of excellent lawyers and technicians of the law. New lessons will see the day: ethics, ethics, decision taken... "It will not be more to acquire techniques but skills", says Jean-François Thony, Director of the school. Another point of friction: a lengthening of the period of specialization from five to eleven months. "We fear that this strong specialization did lose transverse skills to judges," explains the USM. Unanimous on the need to develop the training of judges after the case of Outreau, the content of the reform remains source of tension between the magistrates and the Chancellery.
