Tamilina, Larysa (2021): Educational policy and reforms in Luxembourg.

Abstract

Luxembourg is seen as a unique country characterized by a low number of residents that form a highly multicultural and multilingual population. Despite the fact that Luxembourg has a long-standing tradition with multilingualism, the country faces enormous challenges as regards the national education system. Currently, Luxembourg seeks to introduce various reforms in order to reduce educational inequality that children face at school. This paper focuses on overviewing the key features of educational policy and reforms in Luxembourg.
