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.

Luxembourg’s Education Ministry is calling on international parents to complete a questionnaire and help it better understand education needs for English-language schooling in Luxembourg.

For the second year in a row, it launched questionnaire for employees and parents in general.

The parent/employee questionnaire, can be completed by visiting evasys.men.lu/evasys/online/ using password Parent2015. The questionnaire takes around 10 minutes to complete.

Responses to both questionnaires will be treated with confidentiality. Both will remain online until December 15, 2015.

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
