“For these young people, after our school, there is nothing left. So where will they go next year? On the street? We will then have to put more police officers on the streets!”, she warns.

In addition to these savings measures, the directors of Catholic secondary education also intended to denounce the lack of consultation from the Minister of Education, Valérie Glatigny (MR). She briefly came to meet them Monday morning.
Recalling the degraded finances of the Federation, the minister repeated the need to make savings. Savings which do not only affect education, she defended.
“But I have heard your request for consultation. We will see each other again before six weeks. We will try to find solutions together,” she promised in front of the demonstrators who briefly whistled and booed her.
The savings measures denounced on Monday will be approved this Wednesday during the vote on the FWB’s 2025 budget in the plenary session of Parliament.
