Honorary "Promotions"

''(Section translated from :fr: Liste d'élèves de l'École nationale d'administration)'' Since the creation of the National School of Administration, the tradition has been that students at the start of their schooling, often during a seminar or vacation, vote to determine the name of their promotion. It is a tradition that has not been official since 1964. The procedure is decided in several rounds of voting, eccentric and folkloric initial proposals are common. This is often named after the name of a famous personality or a concept, an organization or a date. The first years were named after the values of the Resistance, a third after politicians, another third after historians and men of letters. From 2022, the ENA has been replaced by the National Institute of Public Service. The promotion name designation method is still maintained. The names of all the promotions of the ENA and then the INSP appear in the reception halls of the Paris and Strasbourg sites of the INSP.
