An initiative started in 2001 allows talented young people from deprived suburbs in Paris to enrol on a special programme at the Intitute for Political Studies (Sciences Po). Students receive the same teaching and qualifications as the other students at Sciences Po but take an oral exam to gain entry instead of a written exam and prepare for this free of charge compared with the expensive preparation course for the written exam.
