Should school courses in Luxembourg only be in French?
Students are tired and stressed. No wonder, says the author of the Petition 3528: The 30 hours of courses a week are too much for children and young people. It would be better to reduce the number of school hours to promote their well -being. The petent suggests reducing the number of hours from 30 to 27.
A reduction in lessons would benefit the students without shortening the working hours of the teachers. As a result, lecturers would have the opportunity to make the lessons more individual and to raise more time to prepare. At the same time, the learners remained more space for extra -curricular activities.
In one of the seven* new petitions that can be signed online, another petent pleads to make changes to the school system. The author of the Petition 3595 wants school courses to be kept in French.

The Luxembourg school system is a challenge for Francophone children. Learning mathematics in German gives children and adolescents more difficulties than those who have Luxembourgish than first language. The measure would ensure more justice and equal opportunities.

The author of the Petition 3591 wants the state to help young people more financially so that they can better afford the motorcycle driving license. The cost of this is currently around 1,800 euros. The driver’s license is particularly important for young people who live in more rural areas and rely on motorcycle and car.
