Educators work in the educational and social sector, their main asset being their versatility. The development of teacher training is closely linked to that of educational and social action in Luxembourg. As a result, the educator's field of activity has constantly expanded and now encompasses all forms of childcare and supervision, children's and teenagers' homes, youth centres, the disability sector and the elderly.
