Luxembourg's education system is uniquely trilingual: Luxembourgish in preschool, German for primary literacy, and French from age 8. Secondary school splits into classical (French-heavy) and technical tracks. Nearly half of students are foreign nationals.

Mountain-adapted expanding model

Nepal

Nepal's education system has expanded dramatically since becoming a federal republic in 2008. The 5-3-2-2 structure now reaches most communities. Over 100 languages are spoken but instruction is primarily in Nepali, with local language programs emerging.
