Answer:
The Educational system in Belgium varies by region based on community government policy although there are some guidelines set by the federal government.
Explanation:
Although educational policy making has shifted drastically towards the language communities in Belgium there are still a few matters left for the government to decide. Education is compulsory for all children in Belgium from the ages of 6 to 18 or until secondary is completed. The Belgian constitution also gives the people the right to chose where they want their children to get their education whether that is a community, secular or religious school. This freedom of education also means that anyone can start a school in Belgium although there are attainment goals set by the government to assure a minimum standard for quality. If schools do not meet this standard then they are not recognized as a legitimate school. Although the schools can set their own curriculum it must be approved by the government to make sure that the final goals will be achieved.
One of the most interesting things done by the Federal government to ensure quality in their education system their Inspection Committees that are sent out to schools to make sure that their curriculum and teaching practices are leading them to achieve the curriculum goals set out by the government. These inspectors will travel to the school and look at the curriculum offered and make a judgment in each area as to how their curriculum and teaching practices are leading to the achievement of the attainment goals set out by the federal government. This is information is then shared with the schools, if everything is fine then the school is left to continue on the path they lead. If the school is not in line to achieve the attainment goals then a plan must be made to get the school back on track. If upon further review the school is still not achieving the attainment goals it may be shut down by the government.
Pre-school like compulsory school in Belgium is free and available from the age of 2 1/2 to age 6 with approximately 99% of students attending by age 5. Primary school is from ages 6-12 (6 years) before students start secondary school which is also a 6 year program divided into two year blocks (3 steps). The federal government spent 6.6% of its GDP on education in 2010, this money is divided between the different levels of schooling including post secondary and between the different linguistic communities.
One such policy in the Flemish community is to distribute more funds to students with "deprived" characteristics. These are based on four such characteristics: parental education, home language, family income, and area of residence.
HIGHER EDUCATION IN BELGIUM
Once Students have completed their studies in secondary education they may also want to pursue further education in order to get the training they need to get a job. These organizations are under the Flemish and French systems with German speakers either attending a French school or a school in Germany. This education is no longer free for students but may be subsidized depending on the individuals monetary situation. There are three levels of tuition depending on income, bursary students who pay very little in tuition, almost bursary students who pay a little more and non-bursary students. Non-bursary students still do not pay the full amount as some cost is still covered by the government. A bachelors degree is a three year program that can be followed in some cases by a two year masters.
EDUCATION ON A GLOBAL SCALE
Overall Belgium scores above average in many international tests and evaluations. The mean score in PISA 2012 was above average in both math (15th overall) and reading (10th overall) and average in science (23rd overall). Many students in Belgium also choose to do some form of post secondary education. The figure below shows that Belgium is well above average in in the European Union with the proportion of 30-34 year olds attaining a diploma of higher education.
