“It seems complicated to me if we don’t want to generate more chaos,” added the minister.
On Tuesday in committee, the opposition intended to debate a proposal aimed at ensuring from next year more weeks of joint vacation with Flanders and the German-speaking Community.
But the deputies of the majority PS-MR-Ecolo had decided in session to immediately withdraw the text from the agenda. “A complete denial of democracy”, then denounced Les Engagés.
“The students came back even more dropped than usual”, regrets this teacher: Les Engagés propose to adjust the new school calendar
Since the last school year, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation has applied new school rhythms with the consequence that the holidays are now partly out of sync with Flanders and the German-speaking Community.
This discrepancy is particularly problematic for families with children attending school in the two Communities.
It also complicates the life of schools practicing linguistic immersion, as ‘native speaker’ teachers no longer have their holidays at the same time as their own children.
According to the opposition Les Engagés, some 80,000 children would thus be penalized by these new rhythms, out of a total of more than 900,000 pupils in FWB.
