Final Jeopardy Explanation – Thursday, 21 November 2024

In 1970, following student unrest in 1968, the University of Paris, traditionally known as the Sorbonne, underwent a significant reorganization. The events of May 1968, which included massive student protests and strikes, catalyzed changes across French society, including the education sector. These protests highlighted the need for reform in the French university system, which was seen as outdated and overly centralized. The response was to decentralize the University of Paris into 13 autonomous universities. This restructuring aimed to distribute educational resources more evenly and to make higher education more accessible to a broader range of students.

The division into 13 separate universities allowed each new institution to develop specialized areas of study and research, fostering greater academic diversity and innovation. This change also intended to reduce the administrative burden on a single, central institution and provide more localized management. The newly created universities, each now bearing its own name, location, and administrative structure, could address specific educational needs and adapt more rapidly to changes in academia and society. This reform was part of a broader movement toward modernizing France in the aftermath of the protests, making higher education more responsive to the needs of a changing world.
