Luxembourg City, as a municipality, is responsible for organising primary school education (Cycles 1-4) for its residents. It is responsible for monitoring compliance with compulsory school attendance, and for providing facilities that are conducive to delivering a high-quality education to pupils. To that end, the City of Luxembourg administers 19 schools occupying 49 buildings attended by some 5,000 students each year.
At local level, the municipal school commission (a consulting body of the municipal council) provides the framework for partnership between school authorities, school staff and parents.
The Luxembourg State guarantees every child an education that is:
- optional for children three years of age;
- compulsory for all children reaching four years of age before the 1st of September of that year;
- compulsory for a period of 12 consecutive years (in principle until the age of 16).
Public primary education is free, and the school books required by the official syllabus are provided to pupils at no cost.
