Central Registrar / Central Administration
Explanation:
Usually an "Academie" is an administrative umbrella for several universities: the "Academie de Paris", for example, includes at least 10 "Facultés", which are more or less independent universities on different campuses, usually with a focus on a particular discipline (like a university-sized version of our "Faculties").

This seems to be a slightly different sense, but it does look like this is a central administrative unit for tertiary enrolment and results over several regions (ie Paris, Creteil and Versailles). The central administrative unit in a university, for pretty much everything (including enrolment and results) is usually called the Registrar, but you could use either Registrar or Central Administration, and perhaps just
"Enrolments" for the "Academie d'Inscription".

DISTRICT FOR ADMINISTRATION PURPOSES


Explanation:
Hello,

I believe that "académies" are "districts" (circonscriptions)

This may the educational district to which this student belongs.

"Gestion" may be referring to "administration."

This may be a group of universities under one district for administration purposes.

I hope this helps.
