Abstract
In Belgium, the education system is complicated: it is not governed at the national level, but by the Flemish, French, and German-speaking communities. The focus on excellence in Belgium is more recent than in the Netherlands and, so far, it is strongest in the Flemish community. Excellence in education is hardly supported by policy or funding from any level of government. Honors education in Belgian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has started to develop in recent years, mostly in Flanders, where they have taken Dutch programs as an example. Flemish universities have developed honors programs since 2010. Some small programs have been running for a few years. The first university-wide program in Ghent started in 2013. So far, the only French university offering an honors program is the Universite Catholique de Louvain, which participates in an inter-university honors program with two other universities. There are a total of six programs at four universities (out of 11 in total).
