Trinidad and Tobago vs Luxembourg

Luxembourg
Luxembourg children routinely speak three languages by age 12.
School instruction shifts from Luxembourgish to German to French as children progress through grades.
Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad's education system is unique: government-funded schools are run by religious denominations โ Catholic, Anglican, Hindu, Muslim, and Presbyterian boards all operate public schools. The SEA exam at age 11 determines secondary school placement.
