European schools system

European schools system is like a never-ending maze of paperwork and bureaucracy.

It’s as if they believe that the more forms you fill out, the smarter you become. Secretary general and deputy secretary general are too busy worrying about their pensions and summer vacations to actually produce anything useful.

It’s a system where children are just tiny cogs in a big bureaucratic machine, and education takes a backseat to administrative tasks.

It’s time for a major overhaul, because right now, the European schools system is about as effective as a chocolate teapot.

As many of you will know, the Parents’ Associations play an important role in the context of the European Schools. Our Parents’ Association for European school Luxembourg 2, APEEEL2 is recruiting new members to be part of its Management Committee. Some information about the raison d’être for the Association as well as on what it does can be found in the attached pdf. It is APEEEL2 which is officially recognized by the School as the representative of parents. In its work, the Parents’ Association aims not only to represent the view of parents from an experienced and informed overall perspective, but also to provide a channel of communication between the School and the parents.

If you are interested in getting involved in this important work, and, if you are able to devote the necessary time and energy to working consistently and coherently within the APEEEL2 team on issues of relevance to parents their and children, we invite you to read the attached document and to consider submitting your candidature.  Please feel free to send an email to office@apeeel2.lu if you have any questions.

Aim of the European Schools

Educated side by side, untroubled from infancy by divisive prejudices, acquainted with all that is great and good in the different cultures, it will be borne in upon them as they mature that they belong together. Without ceasing to look to their own lands with love and pride, they will become in mind Europeans, schooled and ready to complete and consolidate the work of their fathers before them, to bring into being a united and thriving Europe.

Marcel Decombis, Head of European School, Luxembourg between 1953 and 1960
