Due to the size of the country, programmes for higher arts education are rather limited in Luxembourg. Hence, a large part of academic training of Luxembourg-based art and culture professionals is taking place abroad (for instance, a recent survey among jazz artists has revealed that as much as 68% of them had studied abroad[1]), with specific documentation and brochures on culture and arts studies abroad available at the Centre for Documentation and Information on Higher Education (www.cedies.lu). Consequently, the KEP has called for “Reflection on the development of cultural training at the University of Luxembourg” in recommendation No 46. In... read more →

The analysis done for KEP has concluded that the place artistic and cultural education occupies in school programs as insufficient[1], though many of the measures put in place by the SCRIPT have in the meantime addressed this topic in national primary and secondary education. Music education is strongly supported, with around 18,000 students taught by 750 music teachers[2] learning at various local courses, in three conservatories, eight music schools, four regional music schools in agreement with UGDA and more than 25 music courses provided by UGDA.[3]. Nevertheless, both the governmental coalition programme and the KEP have called for significant improvements... read more →

The governmental programme makes it clear that culture must have a more important and transversal place within the education system.[1] This also concerns heritage-related education especially taking into account that a large part of the population is not at all or very little familiar with the history of Luxembourg and the richness of Luxembourg's cultural heritage, calling for strengthened (incl. digital) transmission from museums, cultural institutes or religious communities holding often unknown cultural treasures, in collaboration with education and research institutions.[2] Similarly, KEP has identified important challenges and given a lot of attention to cultural and arts education. It has,... read more →

This strategy has the following objectives and commitments: reinforce the importance of the Luxembourgish language; advance the standardisation, use... read more →
