The higher education system in France is made up of both universities and Grandes Ecoles. It is the Grandes Ecoles that prepare the administrative, scientific and business executives - or cadres - for their place as leaders in government or in private enterprise. Nowadays, over 60 per cent of the chief executives in France's 100 largest firms are graduates of the Grandes Ecoles.
