Guiding Principles

Lead the Way

The Flemish Education Council provides consultation and strategic advice on key policy decisions in education. Operating independently and proactively, we focus on the medium- and long-term challenges and opportunities that shape the educational landscape. We take initiative and stimulate public discourse through purposeful and transparent communication.

Enrich

The Flemish Education Council serves as a unique forum where diverse voices—both within and beyond the education sector—converge. Our stakeholders represent a broad spectrum of perspectives and societal interests. Through open and constructive dialogue, we enrich policy development and foster an inclusive public debate on education.

Connect

The Flemish Education Council bridges the interests of a wide range of educational partners, united by a shared commitment to quality education. Every voice carries equal weight. By facilitating structured dialogue and formulating joint recommendations, we reinforce the democratic legitimacy of education policy. In doing so, we also contribute to broad societal consensus and support.
