Hi

since Belgium is officially bilingual, is primary school even in the northern half available both in dutch and in french?

I am asking because of this job offer I have gotten in Netherlands and, since our daughter (11 years old) speaks french but no dutch, that I would move to Belgium and just drive over the 'border' for work.

(ok I am not sure how the traffic might be)

But for this to be a better idea than living in Netherlands I wanted to know if public primary education is available also in French in the northern half of Belgium?

Thanks in advance,

Daphné

Bonjour,

J'habite en Belgique dans la partie francophone. Les cours en Belgique sont donnés dans la langue de la région, Neerlandais au Nord, Français au Sud.
Cependant, une petite partie francophone touche les Pays-Bas aux alentours de Liège. Tu peux peut-être voir de ce côté-là.

J'espère que ça t'aide.
