How do you register your child in a school for special secondary education (BuSO) in Brussels? These pages tell you how and when to do this:
Which children should be registered?
Starting special education for the first time
Does your child attend mainstream education now, but will they attend special education next school year? Then you can register them for the type of special education and the form of training for which your child has a report from the CLB.
Read all about the different types and forms of special secondary education here (in Dutch).
From BuBaO to the first year of BuSO
Does your child already attend special elementary education now, and will they attend special secondary education next school year? Then you must re-register your child. Your child does have priority if you register them in the same campus.
More information on campus priority.
