How many people in Luxembourg have changed their name ?

The law of December 2020 made it easier to request a change of name or surname. How many people have changed their names in 2021 and what are general reasons for these requests? Our MPs Max Hahn and Carole Hartmann inquired at the ministry.

« En décembre 2020, la Chambre des Députés a voté la loi sur le changement du noms et des prénoms et portant modification de la loi modifiée du 8 mars 2017 sur la nationalité luxembourgeoise.

Dans ce contexte, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Justice :

  • Combien de demandes pour changement de nom ou de prénom(s) ont été soumises en 2021 ?
  • Á combien de ces dossiers le Ministère a-t-il pu donner une suite favorable ? Pour quelles raisons les autres dossiers ont-ils été refusés ?
  • Quelles sont les catégories et raisons pour lesquelles les demandes de changement de nom ou prénom(s) sont introduites ?
  • Depuis l’entrée en vigueur de la loi, y a-t-il eu des demandes de changement de nom voire de prénom liées à une modification de la mention du sexe du requérant ou de la requérante ?
  • Dans l’affirmative, combien de demandes de ce type ont été introduites ? Ces demandes ont-elles pu être favorablement accueillies ? Dans la négative, quelles étaient les raisons de refus émis ?

Qu’en est-il de l’interconnexion entre les différentes administrations publiques ? Est-ce que toutes les modifications sont transmises aux différentes administrations dès leur entrée en vigueur ? »

Second classroom support staff and A-EBS in cycle 1 of primary education

To ensure more effective pedagogical differentiation from the start of schooling, the coalition agreement foresees the gradual introduction of a second classroom support worker in cycle 1. This second staff member could also play a key role in the rollout of Project Alpha, especially in preparing children for literacy in German or French. Furthermore, assistants for pupils with special educational needs (A-EBS) are set to ease the workload of specialised teachers. Our MPs Gilles Baum and Barbara Agostino have submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister to clarify the implementation timeline and progress of these initiatives.
