OECD Reviews of School Resources: Flemish Community of Belgium 2015

Abstract

This report is organised in four chapters.Chapter 1 provides the national context, with information on the Flemish school system, main trends and concerns, and recent developments.Then Chapters 2 to 4 look into three dimensions of resource use that were defined as priorities by the Flemish Community of Belgium in collaboration with the OECD: the funding of school education, the provision of school places and the distribution and utilisation of teacher staff.Each chapter presents strengths, challenges and policy recommendations regarding the effectiveness of school resource use.The policy recommendations attempt to build on and strengthen reforms that are already underway in the Flemish Community of Belgium, and the strong commitment to further improvement that was evident among those the OECD review team met.The suggestions should take into account the difficulties that face any visiting group, no matter how well briefed, in grasping the complexity of the Flemish education system and fully understanding all the issues.This report is the responsibility of the review team.While the team benefited greatly from the Flemish CBR and other documents, as well as the many discussions with a wide range of Flemish personnel, any errors or misinterpretations in this report are the team's responsibility.
