Number of subsidized or financed boarding schools and boarders in Flemish education in Belgium from 2015 to 2022
Because of different state reforms, education has not been a federal competence in Belgium since 1989. Ever since, it has been a competence of the three different (language) communities, which are the Flemish community, the French-speaking community, and the German-speaking community. Since there is no federal governmental body that is responsible for education, the figures are published on a (language) community basis.
The source states: "boarding schools with fewer than 30 boarders are not included, as they cannot be financed or subsidized". Furthermore, boarders from university colleges, boarders from universities and boarders from European schools are not included in the figures.
The figures have been taken from several publications.
