Bill 8443 (\"Organisation des lycées\"). The Chamber debated and voted it on 22 January 2025.
\nSittings: Sitting of 22 January 2025, Sitting of 22 January 2025
\nInterpellation by Francine Closener on the public European schools and educational equity, followed by a rejected LSAP-Green-Left-Pirate motion asking for one overall concept linking international and traditional schools (20-35-5) and a rejected ADR motion (5-55); the sitting also passed projet de loi 8443 on the organisation of lycées.
\nFrancine Closener (LSAP), stating a comparative figure on educational inequality in Luxembourg:
\n\n\nZu Lëtzebuerg ass de Gruef tëscht benodeelegte Schüler a Schüler aus favoriséierte Milieuen esou grouss wéi a kengem aneren EU-Land.
\n
In Luxembourg the gap between disadvantaged pupils and pupils from favoured backgrounds is as large as in no other EU country.
\nSitting of 22 January 2025, Francine Closener, LSAP
\nRicardo Marques (CSV), stating a figure on the language spoken at home by primary pupils:
\n\n\nMir mussen nämlech dem Fait Rechnung droen, datt mëttlerweil nach just een Drëttel vun de Kanner an der Grondschoul doheem Lëtzebuerg schwätzt.
\n
We must take account of the fact that by now only a third of the children in primary school speak Luxembourgish at home.
\nSitting of 22 January 2025, Ricardo Marques, CSV
\nBarbara Agostino (DP), defending the public European schools as a more inclusive option:
\n\n\nFir vill Schüler – besonnesch déi, déi doheem eng Friemsprooch schwätzen – bidden déi ëffentlech Europaschoulen eng méi inklusiv Alternativ, déi et hinnen erméiglecht, hiert Potenzial an der Schoul voll auszeliewen.
\n
For many pupils, above all those who speak a foreign language at home, the public European schools offer a more inclusive alternative that lets them use their full potential at school.
