Accreditation and Quality Assurance in Education
The constitution of Luxembourg guarantees education to all children under the Compulsory Education Programme. At the same time the constitution also bestows responsibility of providing post secondary education including general, vocational and professional to all eligible candidates. Further, there are also sufficient arrangements to provide education to children with special needs, children belonging to foreign origin, refugees and adult education. For the purpose, the Government of Luxembourg has two ministries with different subsidiaries and departments under them. These ministries are: 1. Ministry of Education, Children and Youth and 2. Ministry of Higher Education and Research.
