Congratulations to our language students

On Monday, 15 July 2024, the college of the mayor and aldermen received the 2023–2024 class of Luxembourg language and culture students, as well as the successful participants of the German Sign language courses (Deutsche Gebärdensprache – DGS) in the Foyer of the Grand Théâtre.

At the ceremony, the college of aldermen congratulated the students who had taken the Luxembourgish courses for the effort they had devoted to learning the language – which is an important factor in social integration – and also thanked the seven instructors and the City's Service Intégration et besoins spécifiques (Integration and Special Needs Department) for their dedication. The college also lauded the fact that a large number of people had taken the sign-language course and congratulated the three instructors on the quality of their classes.

Luxembourgish language and culture courses 

For the 2023–2024 school year, the pass rate, based on attending at least 70% of classes, was 50.32% (479 certificates awarded out of 952 students), compared to 54.49% for the 2022–2023 school year (some students received 2 certificates, i.e. 1 per semester).

Most of the students took the courses in 2023–2024 were residents of Luxembourg City (79.62%); the rest were either from other municipalities in the Grand Duchy (15.02%) or from the Greater Region (5.36%).
