Luxembourg's Edustat portal reports 118,025 pupils attending schools in 2025/26. The same current dataset separates national and international programmes and reports 12,531 teachers in public education in 2025. Luxembourg's current dashboard gives a clear system-wide pupil total and then separates national programme counts from international provision.

How the education pathway works

Key evidence

The 118,025 total includes the full school population, while 55,175 and 41,152 are two national-programme components rather than independent national totals.

How to read the Luxembourg evidence

The teacher figure is a 2025 public-sector staffing count and is not directly comparable with the all-school pupil total without adjusting institutional coverage.

The page avoids calculating a pupil-teacher ratio from those mismatched scopes.

Methodology: Luxembourg pupil totals retain the Edustat programme categories; the public-teacher count is kept separate because its institutional coverage differs.
