Marguerite Krier Steps In as Luxembourg’s New School Mediator

From 4 September 2025, Marguerite Krier will officially begin her duties as Luxembourg’s new School Mediator, succeeding Lis de Pina, who is stepping down after several years in the role.

Krier is no stranger to the country’s education system. Having joined the Ministry of Education in 2003, she has built up more than 20 years of experience in administrative and educational matters. This background positions her well to take over a role that has grown in importance since it was created in 2018.

The School Mediator was established to give families and students an independent channel for raising concerns linked to their schooling—whether related to decisions made by schools or the ministry itself. The office acts as a neutral partner, listening to both sides and working towards solutions that strengthen trust between institutions and citizens.

During her time in office, outgoing mediator Lis de Pina played a key role in building awareness of the service and demonstrating its value in the education sector. By stepping in where misunderstandings or tensions might otherwise escalate, the mediator has helped ensure that students’ voices are heard and families feel supported in navigating the school system.

As Krier takes over, expectations are high that she will continue this mission while also adapting the service to new challenges in education. With digital transformation, evolving teaching methods, and increasingly diverse student needs shaping Luxembourg’s schools, her role will be crucial in keeping communication open and constructive.

The Ministry of Education expressed confidence that Krier’s long-standing experience will ensure a smooth transition, and that the mediator’s office will remain a valuable pillar of support for the school community.
