The education system in Belgium, viewed according to the age of the young person, is broadly:
- Pre-primary education 2.5 to 6 years
- Primary school 6 to 12 years
- Secondary school 12 to 18 years (possibly with extension to 19)
- Higher education (professional bachelor or academic bachelor, master, doctorate degree) 18+
The educational competences are exercised in Belgium by the Flemish-speaking, the French-speaking and the German-speaking community. More specification about the differences between education in the communities can be found at:
