Will the right to abortion be reformed?

The Ministry of Health had announced that a working group will discuss the reform of the right to abortion. DP MP Gusty Graas asked the Minister of Health when this group will start its work, which actors will participate in the work and whether a reform can still be expected in this legislative period?

Question

« Le droit à l’avortement – et donc à l’autodétermination physique – de nombreuses femmes est restreint dans plusieurs pays.

En guise de contre-mouvement, d’autres États veulent étendre ce droit ou l’inscrire dans la constitution.

Le ministère de la Santé a évoqué des discussions en vue d’une révision du droit à l’avortement.

Dans ce contexte, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Santé :

  • Quand le groupe de travail prévu pour réviser le droit à l’avortement se réunira-t-il ?
  • Quels acteurs feront partie de ce groupe de travail ?
  • Quels points seront discutés et quand les travaux du groupe de travail devraient-ils être terminés ?
  • Madame la Ministre, pense-t-elle qu’une réforme du droit à l’avortement sera mise en Å“uvre avant la fin de la législature ?
  • Un groupe de travail sur l’établissement de statistiques avait également été annoncé l’année dernière. Ce groupe de travail a-t-il été constitué ? À partir de quand le ministère de la Santé publiera-t-il des statistiques sur les interruptions de grossesse au Luxembourg ?»

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.
