Bilateral agreements

The Ministry of Education takes part in the negotiation of bilateral agreements and participates in cross-border working groups, in particular:

European, global and intercultural dimension in curriculum development

Intercultural exchange and foreign language learning traditionally take an important role in Luxembourg (see article 1.1 Historical Development). Special importance is given to language learning.

European, global and intercultural dimension in curriculum development

As described in the articles on the different higher education programmes in chapter 7, the international dimension of higher education is inherent in all study programmes proposed. Moreover, the global and intercultural dimension is permanently reinforced by the sheer number of outgoing students and incoming students and lecturers.

European, global and intercultural dimension in curriculum development

The curricula for various educational levels aim at fostering a European and international spirit. The syllabi of subjects such as economical and social sciences, geography, history or foreign languages take these issues into consideration. Within the framework of civics courses and classes of contemporary general knowledge in secondary schools, there are mandatory lessons on European institutions.
