The Grouping of schools
The Grouping of National Economics and Statistics Schools (Groupe des Écoles Nationales d'Économie et Statistique: GENES)
The GENES constitutes INSEE's Higher Education and Research Directorate. It is a center of responsibility with its own budget. There are few full-time faculty members, but GENES draws on the expertise of many individuals—including INSEE managerial staff, academics, and government employees—who combine teaching with another occupation.
GENES comprises:
- The National School of Statistics and Economic Administration (École Nationale de la Statistique et de l'Administration Économique: ENSAE), which trains INSEE administrateurs and economist-statisticians for the private sector
- The National School of Statistics and Information Analysis (École Nationale de la Statistique et de l'Analyse de l'Information: ENSAI), which trains INSEE attachés and management-level personnel in the fields of statistical engineering, information processing, and general economics for the private sector
- The Center for the Study of Economic Programs (Centre d'Études des Programmes Économiques: CEPE), a training center for the public and private sectors
- The Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (Centre de Recherche en Économie et Statistique: CREST), INSEE's research center.
Most official statisticians are trained at ENSAE and ENSAI. These grandes écoles train both civil servants (20-30% of the total student body) and non-civil-servants.
