Abolition of automatic appeals in the 6th year of primary school

Trusting teachers means decisions taken as close as possible to pupils' needs. School boards and class councils retain full autonomy to assess each pupil's progress and adapt teaching choices. If necessary, a pupil can repeat a year to consolidate what they have learned, with personalised support before moving on. The result: fairer decisions, tailored follow-up and a better-supported school career.

End of automatic tenure for a modern and efficient state

Wallonia is ending statutory appointment in its public service in order to build a more modern, more agile and fairer administration. Staff who already hold statutory status keep their acquired rights, but the new rules will harmonise professional situations, better reward merit and open up careers more widely, particularly to contract staff. For citizens, the objective is clear: a public service that is more efficient, more responsive and genuinely geared to their needs. For staff, this reform must also make the public service more attractive, facilitate internal mobility and encourage more open career paths between the public and private sectors.
