Belgium's French-speaking education minister reintroduces early tracking, reversing reform

Valérie Glatigny, the French-speaking Belgian education minister, announced the introduction of guiding activities (options) in the third year of secondary school, effectively reversing a key pillar of the Pact for an Excellent Education that delayed student tracking until age 15 to reduce inequality. The move signals a policy shift within the government, potentially reigniting debate over educational equity. The full scope and implementation timeline remain unclear.
