    VLAAMS PARLEMENT ₪ SCHRIFTELIJKE VRAGEN PASCAL SMET VLAAMS MINISTER VAN ONDERWIJS, JEUGD, GELIJKE KANSEN EN BRUSSEL Vraag nr. 276 van 23 januari 2014 van SABINE POLEYN Internationale scholen – Stand van zaken – Gent VOKA West-Vlaanderen en VOKA Oost-Vlaanderen hebben samen met een aantal partners een internationale school opgezet in Gent. De International School of Ghent werd op 1 september 2013 officieel geopend. De school biedt Engelstalig onderwijs aan voor kleuters en lagereschoolkinderen. Dit vooral voor kinderen van impats (buitenlandse kaderleden werkzaam in de regio), alsook voor kinderen van Vlamingen die op het punt staan naar het buitenland te vertrekken (als voorbereiding) of terugkomen van een expatriatie (als integratiestap naar Vlaams onderwijs). Met uitzondering van de haalbaarheidsstudie van 2007 (in kader van het FIT-project) biedt de Vlaamse overheid weinig steun aan dit project. In de commissie Onderwijs gaf de minister (in antwoord op vraag om uitleg nr.2256, 2010-2011) aan dat zijn administratie in overleg was met de administratie van de Europese Commissie om de woonplaatsen van Europese ambtenaren in kaart te brengen in voorbereiding van de aanvraag van een Europese school in Gent. 1. Hoeveel internationale (Europese, Britse, Amerikaanse,…) scholen zijn er momenteel in Vlaanderen? a) Waar vindt men een overzicht? b) Welke relatie heeft de Vlaamse overheid met deze scholen? Welke ondersteuning wordt geboden aan de internationale school in Gent? c) Hoeveel leerlingen tellen de scholen? Hoeveel ervan zijn Belgen? d) Hoe zijn de nationaliteiten verdeeld in deze scholen? e) Van welke leeftijd zijn de kinderen die er les volgen? 2. Zijn er plannen om een internationale school (of afdeling) in andere steden op te starten? 3.

  • INFORMACIÓN PARA PADRES ESPAÑOLES QUE DESEEN ESCOLARIZAR a SUS HIJOS EN UN CENTRO EDUCATIVO DE BRUSELAS Este Documento Pretend
    EMBAJADA CONSEJERÍA DE EDUCACIÓN DE ESPAÑA EN BÉLGICA INFORMACIÓN PARA PADRES ESPAÑOLES QUE DESEEN ESCOLARIZAR A SUS HIJOS EN UN CENTRO EDUCATIVO DE BRUSELAS Este documento pretende servir de apoyo a la búsqueda de escuelas en la región de Bruselas por parte de familias españolas. Es importante resaltar que esta información es meramente orientativa, por lo que se recomienda la utilización de otras fuentes antes de decidirse por un centro. Para elegir centro hay que tener en cuenta varias características del sistema educativo belga y de la enseñanza del español en Bélgica: Debido a la división de Bélgica en comunidades lingüísticas (francesa, flamenca y germanófona) y a la existencia de diversos poderes organizadores con distintos niveles de autonomía, el sistema educativo de Bélgica, y especialmente el de Bruselas, es muy variado, y por ello son numerosas las opciones de escolarización que existen. Por un lado, existe centros públicos o privados, y por otro, hay centros francófonos y neerlandófonos. Para más información, se recomienda consultar la publicación de la Consejería de Educación de Bélgica “La enseñanza del español en Bélgica (ver enlace al final del documento). Al coexistir tres lenguas oficiales en Bélgica, el español se suele impartir como tercera o cuarta lengua extranjera, generalmente a partir de tercero de secundaria. En la actualidad, únicamente algunas Escuelas Europeas centros educativos para los hijos del personal de la Unión Europea tienen propiamente Secciones Españolas. Con el objetivo de mantener y reforzar la lengua y la cultura españolas de los hijos de españoles, el Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte ofrece varias aulas del programa ALCE (Agrupación de Lengua y Cultura Española), servicio gratuito en horario extraescolar.

U vindt in dit jaaroverzicht de belangrijkste cijfers en gebeurtenissen die hun stempel hebben gedrukt op 2019. Wij schetsen een beeld van onze activiteiten en resultaten, gekoppeld aan onze beleidsdoelstellingen. Het is dus een verslag van de werking van onze lokale politiedienst en niet zozeer het criminaliteitsbeeld van onze gemeente. Qua vorm kozen wij voor een eenvoudige maar duidelijke presentatie. Tot slot zouden wij via deze weg ook alle medewerkers willen bedanken voor hun inzet, betrokkenheid en de wil om soms in moeilijke omstandigheden toch het beste van zichzelf te blijven geven. Uiteindelijk zijn zij degenen die het waarmaken op het terrein. Wij wensen u veel leesplezier!

Ideally, parents choosing primary and secondary schools should read this guide before their arrival at post while bearing in mind that enrollment and programs can change within a matter of months at some schools. Parents should contact the CLO or the individual schools directly for further information on fees, academic year schedule, and other specific information. The information in this booklet gives only a basic description of schools and their programs. There is no attempt to evaluate the schools, all of which have positive and negative aspects in the eyes of parents whose children have attended them and since each child may have different needs, readers are encouraged to make their own evaluation by visiting the schools and talking to school administrators, faculty, counseling staff, students and parents.

Spencer Rev. O Eugene Pickett Rev. Steve Dick Dudley Strasburg European Unitarian Universalists (EUU) is a support network and community for Unitarian Universalists (UUs) and UU fellowships in Europe. Approximately half of the more than 200 members belong to local lay-led fellowships that share resources and programs (including Re- ligious Education). The remaining members, known as "at large" members, are spread over most of the countries of Europe but are not affiliated with a particular fellowship. EUU pub- lishes a quarterly newsletter, the UNIfier, and sponsors twice-yearly retreats in various loca- tions. Recent retreats in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Germany have each attracted up to 150 Universalists and Unitarians from across Europe. EUU is a founding member of the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists (ICUU) and an affiliate of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA).
