The new school year in the French Speaking Community

  1. My partner is a teacher and she’s hoping this will be the case for Flemish school too, but a lot of teachers don’t seem to agree.

    It’s baffling, she’s so bored in the summer but is so stressed throughout the year, those two extra weeks could mean so much during the year.

  2. I kinda can’t help feeling that the kids that remained up to speed over the summer holidays now get shafted.

  3. Am i seeing this right? They surrender 1.5 weeks during the summer and get twice 1 week in return during the year?

  4. Driesje and Theo, they are coming for your catholic holidays!!! Removed Easter vacation and prolonged Labour holiday with 13 days! Blasphemy

  5. More difficult for the ones that take “ouderschapsverlof”. I thought you had to take that with at least one month at the time and know a lot of parents who taken 2 months of ouderschapsverlof in the summer holidays and then split the normal leave over the other school holidays.

  6. Heureusement pour moi, je suis en dernière année en supérieur, le monde scolaire ne me concernera bientôt plus.

  7. The good news is that this adresses global warming.

    Now we have two weeks of ski in February and no longer have to deal with shitty April snow

  8. Teachers will probably give homework during those holidays though, like they’ve always done at my school.

  9. Good, let’s do it all. So all family summer vacations have to be planned in a smaller amount of time. So prices will be higher and the holiday homes will be more empty in the summer. lose lose

  10. Man, there’s a high chance this will end up in a shitshow

    No time for teachers to prepare, no synchronisation with calendars from other sectors, …. this is a recipe for disaster

    BTW this is calendar is (for now) only for “Obligatory School” (not universities)

    Il y a de grande chance que ce sera de la merde

    Pas de temps pour les profs de se préparer, pas de synchronisation avec les calendriers des autres secteurs,… c’est une recette pour le désastre

    Au passage, ce calendrier ne concerne que (pour l’instant) l’enseignement obligatoire (supérieur exclu)
