External factors influencing VET
Belgium is a constitutional monarchy divided into three territorial regions: the Flemish Region (Flanders), Walloon Region (Wallonia) and Brussels-Capital Region (Brussels). The population is distributed into three linguistic communities: the Flemish Community BEFL, German- speaking Community BEDG and French Community BEFR (
1 ). Every federated entity has its own government with the exception of the Flemish Region and Community that are both under the authority of the Flemish Government. This segmentation directly affects the vocational and education training field. The Communities are each in charge of education (compulsory, non compulsory and adult education), whilst the Regions are generally responsible for vocational training directly linked to employment. Some competences related to VET remain at the Federal level (social security and the age of compulsory education for insta nce). We also have to highlight the fact that the German-speaking Community exercises competences in the field of employment and vocational training. Moreover, the French-speaking Government of Brussels (French Community Commission, COCOF) is in charge of vocational training for French speakers in Brussels.Figure 1.

declares the principle of freedom of education: freedom to organise education and parents' freedom of choice. As a consequence, the entire education system is decentralised, depending on each of the different organising authorities (ministries, 1) Brussels is a bilingual region where administrations in charge of regional matters use both Dutch and French.
Administrations in charge of Community affairs such as education, culture and care for people are unilingual.
Therefore both BEFL and BEFR cover Brussels depending on the language of the citizen seeking education or
training. 7 provinces and municipalities, grant-aided private bodies). Education has been compulsory in Belgium for 6- to 18-year-olds since 1982. Nonetheless, the possibility of part-time, namely alternating work and learning, is open to young people from age 15/16 upwards.
