XR Meets VET: Flanders Leads the Way in Future-Ready Education

Across Europe, XR (Extended Reality) is reshaping how students learn—and Flanders is stepping up with a bold XR Action Plan for vocational education and training (VET). 🎓🛠️

📍 What’s happening?

From 2021 to 2024, Belgium-FL is rolling out a multi-year initiative to bring XR tools and skills into every secondary VET school.

🎯 Goals of the plan:

✅ Provide XR hardware & software with easy access

✅ Train and upskill teaching staff in XR use

✅ Build a strong foundation of XR knowledge across Flemish schools

✅ Develop innovative, reusable XR content for all provinces

🛠️ Four key actions drive the plan:

– Practice-oriented research to validate impact

– XR lending service for hardware + support

– Sustainable software projects aligned with education

– XR Academy & Learning Network for teacher training

This is more than digital transformation—it’s a system-wide investment in the future of skills, learning, and innovation. 💡🌍
