In 2019, traffic safety was added to the regional curriculum for secondary education in Flanders. The educational goal set in the curriculum requires pupils to know the traffic rules and risk factors for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as strategies to safely move around in traffic.
The goal is for pupils to behave based on a personal framework in which values, notions, behaviour, experiences and information are internalised, although attention still needs to be paid to finding a balance between conflicting aspects. Traffic safety was already part of the curriculum for pre-primary and primary education in Flanders.
