ENA alumni are known as "énarques" in French
One of France's top colleges - the Ecole Nationale d'Administration - will be shut down, French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to announce, under plans to boost social mobility.
A degree from the ENA has been the passport to the upper echelons of French politics for generations.
Its graduates include Mr Macron himself and ex-presidents François Hollande and Jacques Chirac.
However, it has become the target of populist anger at perceived elitism.
The entrance exams are notoriously tough, and the ENA's intake is dominated by students from privileged backgrounds.
