Compulsory age phase	Compulsory education in Luxembourg covers 11 years: two years of pre-primary school (4 to 6 years), six years of primary school (6 to 12 years) and the first three years of secondary school (12 to 15 years).
Clarification of Public - Private sector education	The Luxembourg State is in charge of organising and controlling the educational system. Public and private schools are teaching the same topics. In Luxembourg most primary and post-primary schools are public schools. Public education is free of charge. Private schools are nearly all Catholic schools and are not free of charge.
Legal Definition of SEN	Law of Special Education of 1973: “The Government makes sure, that every child because of his mental, sensorial, emotional or motor particularities gets the instruction required by his state or situation in structures of Special Education.” The Law on Inclusion (1994) uses the same definition of SEN. However a new definition of SEN is now being prepared by an expert-group in the Ministry of Education.
