Belgian Education Minister Abandons Common Core Curriculum Reform

Belgian Education Minister Valérie Glatigny (MR) announced the effective abandonment of the common core curriculum, a key pillar of the 2017 Pact for an Excellent Education. The reform, which mandated a uniform timetable through the third year of secondary school, is now technically buried, signaling a policy reversal. This shift may reflect political realignment and could impact educational standards and regional coordination in Belgium.
