<p>France&#8217;s claim to be a meritocracy is based on its revolutionary heritage. However, for Anyss Arbib, a 21-year-old Frenchman of Moroccan descent who grew up in the tough Paris suburb of Bondy, the claim looks clearly wrong these days.</p>
<p>&laquo;&nbsp;It&#8217;s a myth, of course,&nbsp;&raquo; he says. &laquo;&nbsp;We should stop being hypocritical and talking about meritocracy. There will be no meritocracy until there is equality of opportunity.&nbsp;&raquo;</p>
<p>The claim took a battering this week when France&#8217;s elite universities, or <em>grandes écoles</em> , rejected changes to their admissions procedures to take in more students from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p>
<p>France&#8217;s <em>grand écoles</em> absorb only 6 per cent of high-school graduates. A clutch of top institutions, such as the Ecole des Mines for engineers or the Polytechnique for mathematicians, account for only a fraction of that.</p>
<p>Various studies show that the student intake to the <em>grandes écoles</em> became more socially diverse in the 40 years after the second world war but the trend levelled off in the 1980s and may have even gone into reverse.</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>Le projet de l’Ecole alsacienne de se dédoubler dans la ville du Val-d’Oise illustre la volonté nouvelle de certains établissements prestigieux d’aller à la rencontre des élèves des banlieues populaires.</strong></p>
<p>La prestigieuse et très sélect Ecole alsacienne bientôt à Argenteuil? Plus précisément à l’ombre de la dalle où Nicolas Sarkozy avait stigmatisé «la racaille», le 25 octobre 2005, deux jours avant le début des émeutes en banlieue? Ce n&#8217;est encore qu&#8217;un projet, mais un jalon important doit etre posé, aujourd&#8217;hui, lors d&#8217;un conseil municipal de cette ville du Val-d&#8217;Oise. Son maire, le socialiste Philippe Doucet, va annoncer que la vénérable institution, fondée en 1874 ans le quartier du Luxembourg, à Paris, a choisi Argenteuil pour y établir une extension, le &laquo;&nbsp;Campus Ecole alsacienne&nbsp;&raquo;.</p></blockquote>
