Quick search leads to the EU council directive on VAT Article 132[0], section I and J which says:

    Member States shall exempt the following transactions:

    [...]

    (i) the provision of children's or young people's education, school or university education, vocational training or retraining, including the supply of services and of goods closely related thereto, by bodies governed by public law having such as their aim or by other organisations recognised by the Member State concerned as having similar objects;

    (j) tuition given privately by teachers and covering school or university education;

That wording seems quite clearcut, but then there's a reason I'm not a lawyer.
