Abstract
In 2019-2020, the Brussels Capital Region will be home to some 24 000 more students than there were in 2013-2014, in preschool, primary and secondary education. This growth generates additional needs in infrastructure, but also in teachers. An interuniversity research team from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the Université Saint-Louis and the Université catholique de Louvain have analysed the data available so as to have a clearer view of the Brussels perspective. The IBSA/BISA Cahier No 5, summarised in a Brussels Studies Fact Sheet, lays out their estimates of the number of teachers needed in 2019-2020.
Highlights
Education is not one of its explicit competences, the Brussels Capital Region has had to become involved in this area
Its interest can be justified by the multiple direct and indirect effects that problems in the realm of education can have on areas of regional competence[1]
The Region can help solve the staffing problems thanks to it competences relating to the jobs market
