Word of welcome from the Principal

I want to warmly welcome you on the school website. Even after 50 years of pedagogical activity in the economic-administrative area, the School of Business and Management is proud of its innovative and dynamic spirit still, and especially since 2015, there have been numerous changes noticeable. Thanks to these latter, the school has curved out its strong identity.

We are very pleased about the recognition gained on the national as well as international level for our endeavors in regards to our entrepreneurial education. It should be noted that our commitment, as a school, towards entrepreneurial education has become one of the main pillars of our institution. Building on that commitment, we are able to offer various projects and opportunities to our students. This would, however, be much more difficult without the support of our dedicated partners originating from abundant sectors of industry, business and commerce. A testimony of this wonderful collaboration are our two Entrepreneurial Weeks, which are organised in collaboration with our partners and present a true highlight each semester for the students.

We are delighted that both in the Enseignement secondaire classique and in the Enseignement secondaire général, the sections CN - Entrepreneurship, Finance and Marketing and the GCF – Finance as well as the GMM – Marketing and Media respectively, represent very popular choices amongst our student community. From 2025 onwards, the section GCG – Gestion will be replaced by a new section, entitled Affaires économiques. This new section will put the key foci on entrepreneurial education, the economy and information technology (IT), which allows for accessing arising professions in a constantly developing labour market.

Parallel to the Affaires économiques section, another new section will be on offer from 2025 onwards, namely that of Data literacy. Since we are witnessing an ever increasing data accumulation, it is paramount for young individuals to learn about the ethical, political and legal aspects of data (use) and to develop the necessary skills associated with collecting, reading, analysing and interpreting data.

Furthermore, on the level of the BTS, which currently counts 5 different formats, adaptations will be made in the coming years. Hence, it is a good idea to regularly check our website and our social media accounts to stay informed.

Our school has high ambitions and holds dear its ideals – our aim is to offer the best possible opportunities to our students for a successful transition into the working world or into further academic studies. The importance of values is not to be underestimated in the educational program of young individuals as we want to help them become active and responsible citizens.

I hereby invite you to browse through our website to familiarise yourself with the activities offered by the ECG and if you wish to obtain further information, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to answer any further queries!
