Plans for new special educational needs centres in Luxembourg
The proposed bill includes expanding on five existing structures and introducing three new centres for pupils with learning disabilities, behavioural problems and also advanced pupils.
A draft law to bring additional special educational needs centres to Luxembourg was discussed in a parliament committee on Wednesday.
The proposed bill includes expanding on five existing structures and introducing three new centres for pupils with learning disabilities, behavioural problems and also advanced pupils.
The five existing structures focus on speech impediments, visual impairments, brain injuries and differentiated education.
A statement by the Chambre des Deputés stated that competence centres are independent from schools and "contribute to the development of specialised teaching skills and allocate the necessaey resources to the target population".
The bill highlights that parents should have the final say on whether to send their child to a specialised school.
