Missions

According to the decree n° 87-696 of August 26th, 1987, “the School prepares, by a cultural and scientific formation high level, pupils being intended for the scientific research fundamental or applied, the university education and in the preparatory classes at the universities, like the secondary education and, more generally, the service of the administrations of the State and the territorial collectivities, their public corporations or companies. She exerts mainly her missions in the literary disciplines and the social sciences, social, economic, and political”.

History

ENS LSH comes from the reorganization, between 1981 and 1987, of the old National universities of the primary school education of Saint-Cloud for the boys and of Fontenay-Aux-Roses for the girls. These schools were instituted by Jules Ferry by the decrees of the July 13rd 1880 (Fontenay-Aux-Roses) and of the December 22nd 1882 (Saint-Cloud). They had the role of training the professors of the teacher training schools teachers and higher elementary schools, as well as the inspectors of primary school education. Starting from 1956, these two schools prepare with the aggregation, and their mode is completely aligned on that of the other ENS in 1966.

Under Vichy, the school will take the preparatory name of National school to teaching in the colleges, then that d'" Preparatory national university with the teaching of the second degré" with the Release (decree of February 19th, 1945).

The two schools become mixed in 1981. In 1986-87, the ENS of Fontenay-Aux-Roses specializes in the letters and the social sciences, taking the name of National university of Fontenay/Saint-Cloud, while that of Saint-Cloud becomes exclusively scientist under the designation of National university of Lyon, and settles there, in the district of Gerland, in 1986-87. The architects Henri and Bruno Gaudin, prizes winner of the contest organized in December 1997, will build the new school with Gerland, where the ENS of Fontenay/Saint-Cloud will join the first in 2000, and will take the name of ENS LSH.

Recruitment

The access to ENS LSH is done by contest, that one prepares in literary preparatory classes, (commonly called Khâgne ). Once admitted - one says to have " intégré" Normal - the student acquires a particular status. The signing of a decennial contract of service after the admission with the contest makes it possible to become civil servant, as trainee. The normalien is thus student, whose social status is that of " raise-professor stagiaire" , the term of " stage" returning to the period of formation by the school (4 years paid + two years not paid on request, said leave without balance). For this reason, the normalien touches wages, about 1.200 € the first year, thus entering the wage life. N the other hand, the normalien is committed working for the State during ten years (the four years with the ENS are deducted), even if this engagement is not always respected, or sometimes repurchased by certain companies eager to stick the services of known as the normalien.
