Pay
Earnings of the occupation group "Professionals" in Luxembourg: ≈ 9,434 EUR/month (gross, 2024), from ILO. An occupation group is wider than one job title: it is the pay of everyone the group holds, not of teachers alone.
EU Blue Card salary threshold
Luxembourg publishes a current EU Blue Card threshold of 65,652 €/year. It is the minimum salary for that work route, not what teachers earn.
Regulation and recognition
Teacher is a regulated profession in Luxembourg.
- Recognition route
- General system of recognition - primary application. Public primary-school candidates need a recognised teaching degree, preliminary examinations, competitive ranking and an induction stage. Foreign EU/EEA teaching qualifications use the applicable recognition rules; the public secondary route separately requires the stated degree level for its career group.
- Recognition authority
- The Ministry of Education, Children and Youth organises the public-school hiring route; foreign higher-education teaching diplomas must be recognised by the Ministry for Research and Higher Education for the stated primary-teacher route.
- Language requirement
- For the cited public secondary teaching routes, applicants must master Luxembourgish, French and German; fundamental-school recruitment also includes preliminary language examinations, with a limited Luxembourgish-test exemption.
