Additional Luxembourgish language teachers, lessons and nationality language exam sessions will be introduced to cope with the increasing number of people who want to become Luxembourgish nationals.

It was announced last month that the Institut national des langues (INL) – by which language tests are taken – had no exam vacancies until July, with the exception of one session on 6 July, where there are 30 remaining spaces.

Education minister Claude Meisch has now confirmed additional resources will be put in place to meet increasing demand.

"As the number of exam applicants have largely exceeded anticipated numbers, INL has planned to train additional examiners," Meisch said.

"Four extra sessions could be organised after the academic holidays in February, which would allow 512 more applicants to take the exam."

Meisch said that, after the INL moved back to its site on Boulevard de la Foire during the second semester of the 2017-18 academic year, it would be able to hold more regular exam sessions.

At the same time, the number of lessons for the purpose of taking the nationality language test will increase from 38.5 to 54.5 hours per week. 

Extra teaching staff will be added from September 2018.
