Why is it not possible to do an apprenticeship as a disabled worker?

Young people with a disability do not seem to be able to do an apprenticeship in Luxembourg and at the same time have the status of a disabled worker. DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann have asked the relevant ministers why this is not possible and whether there are plans to remedy this situation?

Question

« En France, les travailleurs handicapés ont la possibilité de suivre un apprentissage. Pour répondre à leurs besoins spécifiques, ils peuvent bénéficier d’aménagements particuliers, tels que la mise à disposition de matériel pédagogique spécifique ou la possibilité de suivre une formation “à distance”.

Au Luxembourg, par contre, il ne semble pas possible pour un jeune en situation de handicap de bénéficier d’un statut de salarié handicapé pendant un apprentissage.

Dans ce contexte, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre du Travail et à Monsieur le Ministre de l’Éducation nationale, de l’Enfance et de la Jeunesse :

  • Pourquoi n’est-il pas possible pour un jeune en situation de handicap de faire un apprentissage tout en ayant le statut de salarié handicapé ?
  • Qu’en est-il des apprentissages en cours d’emploi ? Est-ce que d’autres dispositions sont prévues lorsque la personne bénéficie déjà du statut de salarié handicapé lorsqu’elle intègre un apprentissage en cours d’emploi ?
  • Est-il prévu de remédier à cette situation le plus rapidement possible afin de faciliter l’accès des personnes handicapées au marché du travail en général et aux apprentissages en particulier ? Dans l’affirmative, s’inspirerait-on du modèle français ? Dans la négative, pour quelles raisons ? »

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.

DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health why these results are not communicated and whether this is compatible with data protection regulations.
