Trilingual European model

Luxembourg

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.

Parallel systems model

Pakistan

Pakistan runs three parallel education tracks: government schools, private schools, and religious madrassas. Quality varies enormously. Each province sets its own curriculum since the 18th Amendment devolved education in 2010.
