Belgium - French Community

Non-school childcare facilities

Nursing personnel

The personnel of nurseries, day care nurseries and parental nurseries must include a nurse.

The Centres for Psychological, Medical and Social Services (CPMS) are facilities which receive and listen to young people, and where multidisciplinary teams operate: educational psychologists, assistant educational psychologists, assistant social workers, assistant paramedics and doctors. They are subject to professional confidentiality requirements, and the services they provide are free of charge. Each school is served by a CPMS.

Structure of the chapter

This chapter provides a thematic and chronological overview of national reforms and policy developments since 2022.

The web pages that follow group reforms in the following broad thematic areas :

National or community agencies

Over time, the administrative services of the French Community have developed the habit of decentralising the organisation and management of part of the international programmes, thus relieving the central administrative services of these tasks. In line with European recommendations in particular, a number of national or Community agencies have been created.

European, global and intercultural dimension in curriculum development

The Europass Certificate Supplement describes the knowledge and skills acquired by holders of vocational education and training certificates. They are available for every title of competence issued by the Skills Validation Consortium.

European, global and intercultural dimension in curriculum development
