Paris is the département with the highest proportion of highly educated people. In 2009, around 40 percent of Parisians held a ''[[Licence (France)|licence]]''-level diploma or higher, the highest proportion in France.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.insee.fr/fr/themes/detail.asp?reg_id=99&ref_id=base-indic-cc-dipl-form |title=Indicateurs départementaux et régionaux sur les diplômes et la formation en 2009 |publisher=INSEE |access-date=29 June 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130910144530/http://www.insee.fr/fr/themes/detail.asp?reg_id=99&ref_id=base-indic-cc-dipl-form |archive-date=10 September 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref> 13 percent have no diploma, the third-lowest percentage in France.

The [[University of Paris]], founded in the 12th century, is often called the [[University of Paris|Sorbonne]] after one of its original medieval colleges. In 1970, it was broken up into [[List of universities and institutions in the Paris region|thirteen autonomous universities]], following the [[May 68|student demonstrations in 1968]]. Most of the campuses today are in the [[Latin Quarter, Paris|Latin Quarter]] where the old university was located, while others are scattered around the city and the suburbs.{{sfn|Combeau|2013|pages=213–214}}

The Paris region hosts France's highest concentration of the ''[[grandes écoles]]'' – 55 specialised centres of higher-education outside or inside the public university structure. The prestigious public universities are usually considered ''[[grands établissements]]''. Most of the ''grandes écoles'' were relocated to the suburbs of Paris in the 1960s and 1970s, in new campuses much larger than the old campuses within the crowded City of Paris. The [[École Normale Supérieure]], [[Paris Sciences et Lettres University|PSL University]] has remained on rue d'Ulm in the [[5th arrondissement of Paris|5th arrondissement]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ens.fr/spip.php?article171&lang=en |title=Contact and Maps |access-date=18 June 2013 |language=fr |publisher=[[École Normale Supérieure]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130607052638/http://www.ens.fr/spip.php?article171&lang=en |archive-date=7 June 2013}}</ref>
