Lycée Michel Lucius teachers 'have required linguistic skills' to teach in English
Claude Meisch said he does not doubt the quality of the teaching at the state-run English-language international school following a parliamentary question.
Education Minister Claude Meisch has confirmed teachers who teach through the medium of English at the state-run international school Lycée Michel Lucius "have the required linguistic skills".
He made the declaration in response to a parliamentary question by Christian Social People's Party (CSV) MP Martine Mergen who asked the minister if he could confirm reports that some of the teachers at the school do not have adequate competencies to teach in English.
"I do not doubt the quality of the teaching at Lycée Michel Lucius," Mr Meisch responded. "The teachers giving lessons in English have the required linguistic skills and management allocates such a task exclusively to teachers who meet the requirements and who have expressed their willingness to teach in the language."
Lycée Michel Lucius in Limpertsberg is a state-funded secondary school and has had an English language stream since 2011. From September it is opening an English-language primary school in Belair.
