The purpose of this study is to analyze the rationale for the recent French university admission reform by exploring its characteristics and issues. As France carried out educational innovation in 2018, the university entrance examination system was completely reorganized into a selection system according to the ORE Act (Loi relative à l orientation et à la réussite des étudiants). In line with the new college admission system, the high school curriculum was also reorganized and implemented in 2021. This reform, with the introduction of the university selection system as its core, has sparked a heated social debate in that it changes the basis of French university entrance exams. Ultimately, this study aims to draw implications for Korea s college admission system by analyzing what kind of socio-cultural or educational background there is, what the key changes are, and what the main issues are in France s new university entrance system reform. To this end, in order to provide a contextual understanding of the proposal for entrance examination reform, the characteristics of the French higher education system and the background of the reform proposal for the university entrance examination system are summarized. Next, major changes such as the high school curriculum and the baccalaureate (Bac) test are analyzed according to France s college admission reform plan. Lastly, the issues surrounding France s college entrance examination reform are analyzed, and, based on the results, implications for a Korean entrance examination policy are presented.
