The structure of the school
system in Belgium French (Wallonia +Brussels
French) is based on the right to every child/youth to go to the school of
his/her choice: Public, “free” recognised by the state or private.
To be financed by the Federation, schools have to follow the rules from
the law about teaching (1970- Décret Missions) and accept to be assessed by the
General Service of Inspection and the financial controllers.
Private schools are free to organise the teaching following their own
rules as long as the students attend the yearly evaluation and succeed.
The role of the service of Inspection is to visit the schools and attest
that the pupils/students are “on time” or not regarding the program of studies.
The Service may give some advices about how to improve the study level of the
students. Afterwards the work to improve the level is made by the school
advisors and the head of the school.
Every year, the General Service of Inspection writes a report about the Study
level and routes to improve the quality of the teaching.
This report is sent to the Minister who presents it to the Parliament.
The Minister transmits the results to the schools organisations.
