The Mediator for National Education and Higher Education

Claude Bisson-Vaivre is the Mediator of the Education and the higher education. The mediator is a “third”, it is not an internal service receiving the appeals. Every year, he puts back to the Secretaries a report of his activity in which he proposes measures, from a joint work with the academic mediators, which seem to him useful to improve the public service of the Education and the higher education.
