Brussels Is Not Flanders. So Why Does Our Education System Pretend It Is?
Why are Brussels children still being taught with methods made for Flanders? This one-size-fits-all system is failing the city’s multilingual classrooms.
Brussels deserves more than quick fixes: closing classes is a wake-up call
The fact that a school in Brussels has to close a class during the school year due to a shortage of teachers shows that the system has been stretched to its limit — and unless structural action is taken soon, this scenario will also unfold elsewhere in Flanders.

Groen in Brussel
De Groenen zijn in Brussel meer dan dynamisch: we voeren actie, organiseren colloquia en trekken geregeld naar de Brusselaar om die om zijn of haar mening te vragen. Zo bouwen we samen aan een betere stad.
Bovendien hebben we in het Brussels Parlement 3 parlementsleden, zit er één Brusselse Groene in het Vlaamse Parlement en zijn we ook goed vertegenwoordigd in de 19 gemeenteraden. In Etterbeek, Jette, Molenbeek en Schaarbeek zitten we mee in de meerderheid, elders voeren we op een constructieve manier oppositie. Onze Groene raadsleden werken daarbij nauw samen met hun Ecolo-collega’s.
Verder is er een dynamische Jong Groen-afdeling en organiseert de GroenPlus-groep (voor de iets oudere Groene Brusselaars) zijn eerste activiteiten. Voor elk wat wils, samen maken we er werk van.
