Binding study advice mbo.
In the first year, the mbo school watches your child's progress closely. Students have a study progress talk and get a binding study advice. What is this? When does your child get it? And what to do if you do not agree? You can read that here.
Study progress talk
At the start of the study, the mbo school checks if your child is learning enough. In the study progress talk, the school talks with your child about how the study is going, what is going well, and where more help might be needed. Your child also gets a binding study advice: the BSA.
Positive or negative BSA
A binding study advice can be positive or negative. A positive advice means everything is fine. Your child can continue the study. There might be extra attention for some parts of the course. A negative advice means your child must stop the study. This can be hard to hear. That is why the mbo school cannot give a negative study advice just like that. Your child first gets a written warning and time to improve the study results. The school must also consider any personal situation your child has. And the school must have given your child good education and good help.
When does your child get the binding study advice?
Your child gets the binding study advice in the first year. The exact time depends on the study your child follows. Does your child do a multi-year study? Then the advice comes after nine months in the first year. If the study is only one year, your child gets the advice after three months.
Negative study advice, what now?
If your child got a negative study advice, then your child cannot continue that study. But you can talk with the school about starting another suitable study. Is your child under 18 and follows an entrance study? Then the school must offer another, better-matched entrance study. An mbo school cannot refuse a student under 18 for another study.
Disagree with binding study advice
It can happen that you do not agree with the binding study advice for your child. For example, because you think personal circumstances were not properly considered. Or because your child did not get the right support during the course. Maybe your child did not get a required interim warning at all. In those cases, your child can appeal to the appeal committee.
