Good contact between parent and school means a lot for a child

Our MBO advisor

Patrick Woudstra can safely be called our mbo expert. As a teacher, he taught for years at an mbo school and was also a duty of care coordinator. Because of this, he knows education inside out. He knows the way and is well informed about how agencies work. 'I know the possibilities and limitations that parents can face,' he says about this himself. At Ouders & Onderwijs, he likes to help mbo parents. 'They often do not realize it, but parents have more power than they think.'
