EDUCATION IN BELGIUM
In Belgium, the Communities are responsible for taking decisions on services for individuals, such as education. The Flemish Community is, therefore, responsible for education in the Dutch-speaking part of the country, whilst the French Community is the competent authority for the French-speaking part of Belgium.
