Education question ref Belgian education system?
In Belgium education is compulsory between the ages of 3-18. I know that much. I also know a little on the history of the school wars and why the system is the way it is.
What happens to teens that want to get a job at 16? And do all 3-year old receive free state education if they are Belgians citizens? Do immigrant children get the same rights as Belgian children when it comes to education? Serious and/or intelligent answers only please

What happens to teens that want to get a job at 16?
1. school is compulsory but there are different ways to attend school. if a 16-year wants a job he still has to go to school. he can follow courses and work a job that's directly linked to his education. he works 4 days @ minimum wage and goes to school 1 day a week. As long as you don't finish the compulsory part, till 18 you have to be enroled in a school. not doing so is a crime that your parents have to pay for.
a school that offers such education is: http://www.syntra.be (dutch site)
2. @ age 16 you have the right to work as a student after school hours, in weekends and in the hollidays.
do all 3-year old receive free state education if they are Belgians citizens?
1. all 3 year olds should be able to recieve 'free' state education. yet it is not compulsory yet.
2.it's compulsory from the age of 6 but 'free' isn't free of cost yet.
3. sure they don't have to pay for the enrolment, yet things required such as books and others are @ charge of the parents.
4. it's not just for Belgian citizens, its for all people who legally reside in Belgium, weather their french, german, australian, turkish, .
Do immigrant children get the same rights as Belgian children when it comes to education?
1. yes if they have a legal status.
2. no if they're illegal, but under international conventions (one of them being the European Declaration of Human Rights) all children can get an education. I don't know the regulation around that but be sure to check the following site for more intel: http://www.dofi.fgov.be/index_1024.htm. (french & dutch) it's the site of the federal organization that is running foreigners affairs.

Still don't tell me in those links what happens to die-hards that refuse to go to school?
-> you are not compulsory to go to school, your parents can choose to educate you themself. But I don't know the details
Immigrant children:

The learn-duty in Belgium is between 6 and 18 year. There is only a learnduty, not a school-duty. Everybody between 6-18 must have education.
There exists some particular education systems for teens from 15 years: a combination of learning and working (learn-contracting).
Every child in Belgium has the right of education, it is also a obligation. Even the children of illegal persons has that right. It is often so that a lot of these children goes to school and are well integrated in the system.
