Abstract
This talk focuses on the Flemish education in Belgium. Education is not a federal (national) competence in Belgium, but a regional one of, on the one hand, the Flemish Dutch speaking community and, on the other hand, the Walloon French speaking community. This separation of the Belgian education system in two (almost) fully autonomous regional systems, is already an important 'ethnic' categorization of 'education', even though it is seldom perceived as such.
This division of 'education' based on ethno-cultural and linguistic identity is important to start discussing the role of ethnicity in education. Taking this approach, this talk will further explore the difficulties the Flemish education system experiences in creating equality, given that the ethnic inequalities in performance in PISA are among the largest in Europe. We further discuss various difficulties and limitations, but will also engage with the opportunities education systems can build upon to tackle inequalities.
