Evaluation of Luxembourg's COVID-19 Response
Learning from the Crisis to Increase Resilience
As countries seek to learn from the COVID-19 crisis and increase their resilience for the future, evaluations are important tools to understand what worked or not, why and for whom. This report is the first of its kind. It evaluates Luxembourg’s responses to the COVID-19 crisis in terms of risk preparedness, crisis management, as well as public health, education, economic and fiscal, and social and labour market policies. While Luxembourg’s response to the pandemic has been particularly agile, preserving the country’s resilience will require maintaining high levels of trust in government, reducing inequalities, and laying the foundations for inclusive growth. The findings and recommendations of this report will provide guidance to public authorities in these efforts.

The Luxembourgish education system during the pandemic
This chapter examines how the government of Luxembourg handled the COVID-19 crisis in education, with a particular focus on formal (general) education. The study is structured around three areas of analysis: educational continuity during the various stages of the health crisis; the impact of the crisis on educational outcomes and stakeholder well-being; and the processes of engaging, co-ordinating and communicating with stakeholders. The analysis shows that, on the whole, Luxembourg managed the crisis successfully in the education sector: schools mostly remained open, educational continuity was ensured when they were closed, and educational outcomes remained relatively stable. The OECD proposes recommendations to support actions taken by Luxembourg in future, both in the context of the pandemic and for other similar crises, taking into account the broader needs of the country’s education system.
