liberation of French growth
Explanation:
Although it sounds a little clunky, this seems to be the term used in official documents. See here for example on the OECD website:

"France is well-placed to recover strongly from the economic crisis providing it strengthens its public finances by cutting spending and reforming its pension system, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría told members of the Attali Commission for the liberation of growth at a hearing in Paris on 21 May 2010."

http://www.oecd.org/document/5/0,3746,en_21571361_44315115_4...


And here:

"The 'Committee for the Liberation of French Growth', chaired by economist and thinker Jacques Attali, today January 23rd published a report that sets out ways of modernising the French economy" from

Hope this helps!

I am assuming you are referring to this Commission, although it would appear to be more related to the economy than to education.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes ! It helps ! There is mention of Attali in the document I have to translate even though it is not on Economy but on Higher Education


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  B D Finch: Though the references are authoritative, this reads like translation, rather than natural expression in English.
37 mins
  -> I agree, but if this is the translation which is being officially used towards eg the OECD then I think it should stay as such.
agree  Anne Girardeau: Excellent!
38 mins
  -> Thanks Anne
neutral  Michael Roberts: I agree with BD Finch. Based on a vague memory of something i read in the Economist, I came across ' Freeing growth', which seems to be so avant-garde that there are only 179 hits in google, but is authentic 'native speaker' (Irish apparently)

do not translate


Explanation:
If this is the name of a comission, it is a proper name; unless they have an official translation I would leave it in French.
