Proposition de loi modifiant la loi du 29 juin 1983 concernant l'obligation scolaire, en vue d'abaisser l'âge du début de l'obligation scolaire à 3 ans.

This is a bill proposed in the Belgian Chamber of Representatives to amend the 1983 law on compulsory schooling. It would lower the age at which compulsory school attendance begins from six to three years old. Compulsory schooling sets out when children must be enrolled in education, so the change would bring early childhood education under a legal attendance obligation. The proposal is based on metadata only and does not reflect the full legislative text. Children aged three in Belgium and their parents would be most directly affected, as attendance would become mandatory rather than optional. Schools, nursery-level education providers and local authorities would also need to plan for the additional pupils and enrolment changes.
