    School until 18? What Luxembourg's new schooling obligation really requires

    A law passed in July 2023 raises Luxembourg's compulsory-schooling age from 16 to 18, taking effect in September 2026. It is aimed at the country's school-leavers and NEETs, and can be fulfilled through schooling, an apprenticeship or other qualifying pathways rather than classroom attendance alone.
