| académie | [local education authority] - For educational administrative purposes, France is divided into areas known as académies, each of which is administered by a recteur appointed by the Ministry of Education (Ministère de l'Éducation nationale). There are thirty académies in France, most of which cover several départements, plus five others in the overseas territories. | ||

| admission parallèle | parallel admission procedure | EGID | Admission to a grande école is usually by competitive examination, which students prepare for during a two-year preparatory course. Admission parallèle is an alternative admission procedure set up by the grandes écoles in order to attract a broader range of student profiles, including holders of a DUT, licence or other diplomas. These candidates take a different examination from students from the preparatory courses. Some establishments also admit students on the basis of academic record. These students are also called admis sur titres. |
| agent(e) de formation | training officer, trainer | GVCA | |
| agrégation | EGID | The agrégation, like the CAPES, is a high-level competitive examination for recruiting secondary school teachers. Agrégation holders (known as agrégés) enjoy higher salaries and shorter working hours than CAPES holders, and they can teach at universities after a few years of initial secondary school teaching experience. Preparatory courses for the agrégation are given at universities, rather than at the IUFM teacher training schools where the other teaching diplomas are prepared. Students can sit the agrégation examination with a maîtrise or grande école diploma. The Écoles Normales Supérieures (ENS) offer the most highly reputed courses to prepare for the agrégation. | |
| agrément | EGID | [social security approval] - Higher education establishments approved by the French social security system are said to hold an agrément, and are known as établissements agréés par la Sécurité Sociale. Students enrolled at an approved institution of higher education are entitled to special students' social security coverage. | |
