Does the Luxembourgish education system prepare children and young people for the challenges of the 21st century? – Presentation of a thematic OEJQS report at the Chamber of Deputies
What skills do children and young people need in order to help shape the world of tomorrow – and how should the school system evolve to enable them to develop these skills?
On 9 June 2026, the OEJQS thematic report, “Die Rolle des Bildungssystems bei der Vorbereitung der Kinder und Jugendlichen auf die Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts“ (The role of the education system in preparing children and young people for the challenges of the 21st century) was presented to the Commission de l’Éducation nationale, de l’Enfance et de la Jeunesse of the Chamber of Deputies.
Based on a comprehensive literature review and a survey of teachers and other stakeholders in the education system, the report examines how effectively Luxembourg’s current teaching culture prepares learners for the demands of an increasingly complex, digitally shaped and rapidly changing world.
The report’s analysis focuses on four areas for action:
- the promotion of 21st-century key competencies and the curriculum reform this entails,
- the further development of teaching and assessment towards a more individualised approach, cooperative learning, and formative assessment,
- the pedagogical integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence,
- the role and support of teachers within a changing education system.
Based on the report’s findings, the OEJQS puts forward a total of ten recommendations across these four areas for action.
The report shows that the Luxembourg education system already has important foundations for a 21st-century school, but that there are also reservations among teachers.
