« Different facets of educational inequality in Luxembourg – Findings and Perspectives from the National Educational Report » 

Abstract: Like the earlier National Education Reports, the Report 2021 describes the Grand Duchy’s education system as a whole and takes an analytical look at selected key topics – in 2021 « digitalisation » and « education for sustainable development ». Whilst addressing selected key topics in each volume, the report also tackles the « big issues » characterising Luxembourg’s education system, such as educational inequalities. The Report brings together contributions from a variety of disciplines (pedagogics, psychology, linguistics, sociology, etc.). Our presentation will primarily focus on the different facets of educational inequality. In sum, the socio-economic and linguistic background of students continues to have a large impact on their competencies and school careers. A synopsis of different articles shows the extent in which educational inequalities by socio-cultural background can be identified in different dimensions and at different points in the trajectories. The Report 2021 generated a set of debates opening on future research on diversity, inclusion, skills, and the reduction of inequality.
