In Luxembourg we have both private and public schools. However, both have the exact same programm, are under the exact same regulations, have the exact same requirements for teachers, buildings, equipment, funds... The main differences are extra private teaching is a possibility in the private schools, as is staying in a dorm (due to the relatively small distances in Luxembourg, public schools (apart from the university) don't need dorms, everyone just goes home after school. This is mostly used when the parents are traveling for work and can't take care of their kids due to that).

As such, they work in the same manner as private healthcare here: The public system gives a high baseline, and private entities can thrive if they add meaningful stuff on top of it.

That seems pretty reasonable. Private healthcare has done the same thing as private education here, allow certain people access to incredible luxury while denying others what should be basic rights.
